Parents - Important Reminders!!! PLEASE READ!
PARKING/TRAFFIC SAFETY
When you are in a hurry to bring your child to school, please remember to respect our neighbors by parking only in unrestricted zones, not moving their garbage cans on Monday mornings, and/or staying in your cars in the Passenger Loading Zone. In addition, set a good example for your children and cross in the crosswalk. No jaywalking, please!
Please remember traffic and parking rules so that everyone is safe and our drop off and pick up runs smoothly.
● Please drive slowly and carefully around our school, especially during drop off and pick up.
● Unfortunately, there are no parking spaces on school grounds for the general public, only for staff and the handicapped. You need to park on the bordering streets.
● We need parents to help with the Safety Patrol at the main intersections. Please volunteer!
● We need all drivers to NOT park in the bus areas on Glacier.
Passenger Loading Zones & Bus Zones
- Please remember to abide by the passenger loading zone regulations. Use the zone as designed, for dropping off and picking up..not for parking! Please stay in your cars.
At all times, please do not park in the bus zone!
Thank you so much for your assistance!
Lost and Found
- The Lost and Found clothing and miscellaneus cart is full! Please come by and check if you are missing lost items!
Sincerely,
