Safety Message from Rev. Beebe

Dear Parents,

  • Please watch your downhill speed and be mindful of parents and kids exiting and entering cars on the street side along the hill.
  • Follow the rules of the road including using turn signals when looping back up the hill to find a parking spot. (This is particularly a problem at grades pickup due to parents from the high school also looping in the cul-de-sac in order to park uphill. We have asked the high school's principal to remind his parents about safety as well).
  • Please do not use your cell phone while driving. (Yes, I notice!)  
  • Finally, parents, please also use the crosswalks. It is important that we all (middle school and high school students included) set good examples for our little ones - as those little eyes do notice the actions of us big people.  
  • For the safety of our children, thank you for adhering to these guidelines.

Sincerely,

Rev. Beebe
