Dear Parents:
The fire department has brought to our attention that the picking up of students in the front of the building will need to be revised. Please, when you are picking up a student for an after-school event or after school we ask you to park in the parking spaces or in the parking lot. The line of cars forming in the fire lane presents a hazard if an emergency would occur here.
Thank you!
