Attention, please. Here are the new guidelines for drop-off and pickup during the school week. As you all know, school starts every morning at 8:30 am, we know that most of you have jobs to get to, but we are asking everyone to make   11    to   arrive on time. Cars will not be allowed in front of the school after 8:35 am. If you are running late and need to drop off your children after this time, we kindly ask that you find 12 near the school and walk with your children to the front gate.

At the end of the school day, when school gets out at 3:20 pm, it often takes 5 or 10 minutes for the students to come outside. Many drivers have been 13outside the school as early as 3 pm, blocking the road for half an hour or more. The local police have told us that this is a 14, and they will 15to anyone parking in front of the school before 3:15 pm.

If you have any questions about the new guidelines, please see Anne Richards in the administration building. Thank you.
