Traffic & Safety: Pick-Up Reminders
|
|
|
|
CCA parents and guardians are asked to strictly adhere to their student's indicated pick-up times.
If you arrive prior to your student’s assigned pick-up time, you will be asked to leave and come back at your scheduled time.
For example, the 3:15 crowd should not arrive early, thereby giving the 3:05 crowd the proper allotted time to pick up their children.
