SAFETY FIRST!

Please remember the importance of keeping safety in  

mind during the drop off and pick up of our students.  

We have parent volunteers at both loops each morning to assist  

students getting to school in a safe and timely manner.  

There are a number of "best practices" for dropping off  

and picking up kids at any school:
1. Learn the procedures:  

Everyone dropping off or picking up kids from school has the  

responsibility to know the procedures.   

Click Here to review these important guidelines that keep our kids safe!  

2. Use only designated drop off locations

Take advantage of our great valet service with  

our wonderful parent volunteers at the upper and lower loops.
3. Allow extra time

Everyone is very busy, but that's no excuse to put our kids' safety at risk.

Leave a few minutes early to allow ample time for drop off and pick up.  

Just a few minutes can make a great difference, and help to make the  

traffic circulation around our school more efficient for everyone.
4. Be courteous and respectful of neighbors:

Please be sure to never park in front of driveways.  

Treat these neighbors in the way you would like to be treated  

if you lived across the street from a school!
5. Get involved:

Become a valet!! It's a great way to meet some new  

families, greet your classmates and neighbors and get to school early!
