School Pictures Taken Thursday, August 30
School pictures will be taken by Holland Studio for the yearbook and parents to purchase. The photos will be taken on Thursday, August 30. Students should wear their uniforms and best smile for the pictures. Please be on time, pictures will begin promptly at 8:20. |
 Morning Drop-Off and Afternoon Pick-UpOur number one concern is the safety of our students! In order for students to be properly supervised, parents cannot use the circle drive at the front of the building for drop-off or pick-up. The circle drive is for PDO and CLC students drop-off and pick-up only. Students cannot be picked up in the hallways at dismissal. If a parent is volunteering in the building during afternoon car line, pick up arrangements should be discussed with the school secretary. Please do not park in the east or west circle drives unless you are picking up a sick child from the office.
Please do not let your children out of the car for morning car line on the traffic side of the vehicle. Please allow your child to exit the vehicle on the curb side.

 Houston Levee DrivewaysThe Houston Levee driveways are available for use in the mornings, but parents should be mindful of car lines that are forming, and should not cut in front of another driver. They are not available in the afternoon, as this would impede the car lines already formed. |
