We ask that parents DO NOT accompany their child(ren) into the multipurpose room after 8:15 -OR- at lunch due to the very limited space and the large number of kids. ATTENTION PARENT DRIVERS - the parking lots between the school and the valet lane is FOR STAFF ONLY. Please DO NOT drop off your children in that parking lot. Please use the valet program or park in the street. STUDENTS ON PLAYGROUND AFTER SCHOOL - We appreciate that our parent community likes to gather and talk on campus after school hours. We ask however, that you watch your children and have them follow our playground rules when they are playing on the equipment. The rules are intended to provide safety and it reinforces the rules during school hours when you enforce them after school. If you are unsure of the rules, just ask the children…they know them.
