Greetings, everyone! Please be mindful of safety as we start the school year. Parents, recall that the NorthEast parking lot is reserved for school busses ONLY from 7:45 - 8:30 in the morning and from 3:00 - 3:45 in the afternoon. The parent drop off and pick up area is in the west lot at the new gym entrance. PLEASE do not use the lot designated for our busses during the posted times. Cars going through that parking lot present a very real danger to our students. We appreciate your cooperation to keep our kids safe!
