It is critical that parents use extreme safety in our parking lot at all times. If you are not moving in the carpool line, place your car in park, turn the motor off, and remove your keys. Do NOT walk your children across the parking lot for any situation they must be dropped off at the curb. If your child is going home with someone else, it is imperative you let the office know in writing and in advance. Please DO NOT schedule play dates or re- arrange carpools while in the carpool pickup lane. DO NOT text or use your cell phone in the pick- up lane or when driving on our campus. If you need to come into the school, please park in a designated spot. Never leave your car unattended in the carpool lane. Thank you for your help. The safety of all our students and staff is our primary concern. The parking spaces in front of the Library/ Kindergarten classroom are designated Handicapped Spaces and are reserved for those vehicles with the appropriate placard. Please reserve these spots for members of our community who are in need of them. Vehicles without the placard should park in an alternate parking space.
