sure to pay close attention to students exiting vehicles and entering our
building.
* **Parents please remember that our new front drop off/pick up lane needs to
be kept free of parked vehicles. If your student is not standing out front
waiting for you, please make sure to utilize a parking spot so that traffic may
continually move forward. Likewise, students MUST be ready to exit the vehicle
when dropping off.**
* Please remember that if you wish to speak with a teacher or staff member
regarding your student’s classroom performance, you must schedule an
appointment for a meeting. Daily classroom activities are held to a tight
schedule and unplanned interruptions may negatively affect academic success in
the classroom.

him/her bring a note from the doctor upon returning to school to show that they
were there. Otherwise the absence will be marked unexcused by the school.

belts should be fastened properly around children as they are being picked up or
