SAFETY REMINDER AND VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!
Please take a moment to read the "
Rules of the Road
" as a reminder about the protocols for drop off and pick up. The goal is to keep our kids safe! All parents and any other caregivers who handle drop off or pick up for your child should review this.
We also continue to need Safety Duty volunteers each morning from 8:30am-8:45am to help with the drop-off process to ensure kids are getting out safely and to keep the flow of cars moving smoothly. Please sign up via our
online sign up sheet for Safety Duty.
