Recently, we have noticed an increase in unsafe practices that put everyone at risk.
Please remember the following expectations:
Crosswalks must always be used. This is the safest way for students and families to cross and helps staff manage traffic effectively.
Do not drop off or pick up students in the parking lot. This area is not designed for student loading and unloading and creates dangerous situations.
Drive slowly and remain patient. Our procedures are in place to keep traffic moving as safely and efficiently as possible.
Please avoid stopping staff for conversations during drop-off or pick-up. Our staff members are focused on student safety during these times. If you need to speak with someone, we are happy to assist you after procedures are complete.
We understand that mornings and afternoons can be busy, but these expectations are critical in preventing accidents and ensuring a safe environment for everyone on campus.
Thank you for your cooperation and continued support in keeping our school community safe.
Sincerely,
Administration
