| Safety First! | | |
Help us keep all our students safe. We need your support for pick up and drop off. Please use the front Meadows drop off or the back Rowell drop off and follow posted signs. Please do not drop off your kids on 12th Street unless you park and can safely walk them into school. Children crossing on 12th St. are not clearly visible to traffic and it is dangerous for staff as they try to enter their assigned spaces. Also, please remember that under no circumstances should you use the teacher assigned spaces (even for a short visit). The teachers count on their spaces for quick access to school and to your kids.
Don't forget! We use volunteers to staff Rowell and need your help. The link to sign up is http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0448AEAD22A02-rowell3 - Password meadows. Click on the link and find the assigned week for your class, then choose the morning that works best for your schedule. Thank you Mustangs, please do your part!!
