Housekeeping and Care

Morning Drop-Off Reminder We need to remind families to maintain safe conditions during morning drop-off. Please remember the following: Curbside drop-and-go lanes are at southbound 29​th St. (east side of school) and westbound Kiowa St. (south side of school). Do not park in the drop-off lanes.  These need to be for immediate drop-off so traffic keeps moving. Pull your vehicle up as far forward as possible to allow for more space behind you and facilitate an efficient flow.   Please pull away from the curb in a timely and orderly manner. Students must be ready to leave the car promptly.  Do not block traffic. The safety of our students is critical and we appreciate your cooperation.

Check-in When Visiting School In order to ensure the safety of our school community, all visitors, including parents, must sign in at the front office when visiting the school after drop-off time. If you are dropping something off for your child, please arrange with the front office staff the best way to get this to your child. If you need to pick up your child, we will help make those arrangements in the least disruptive manner.     Thank you for your care!
