Morning Drop Off and Afternoon Pickup - We appreciate your help in keeping our students safe before and after school. We have two requests: Please have students exit cars in the morning onto the sidewalk. If they are in the outer lane and get out to the sidewalk, they can walk to our crosswalk to get to the building. Second, please do not allow our students to climb on the mountains of snow created by our plows. Thank you!
