  • Pick up and Drop off Lane Safety

    Absolutely No Passing!   

    The safety of our students is our highest priority. We continue to see vehicles passing other cars in the pick-up and drop-off lane, which creates a serious safety concern and puts students at risk. Even if there is a delay in the pick up / drop off lane – please remember there is to be absolutely no passing stopped vehicles in the pick up / drop off lane.  We kindly remind all families to drive slowly, follow traffic procedures, and remain patient during pick-up and drop-off times. Thank you for your cooperation in helping keep our school community safe.
