PARKING, DROP-OFF AND PICK UP

Just a reminder that during the crazy weather, please be aware of the number of people trying to drop-off and pick-up their children.  Please do not park in a non parking area and leave your vehicle.  We have had a great deal of traffic the past 2 weeks and we need to remember to drop the kids off and leave as soon as possible. Thanks for being patient and courteous of others.

Hope you all have a great holiday and a wonderful break.  Always know you can contact the PTO with suggestions or questions.  Thanks again for all of our wonderful families and teachers.
