Thank you to all of our families for your assistance in ensuring a smooth and safe morning arrival (and afternoon dismissal). We appreciate the extra caution and adherence to our polices so that everyone has a great start (and end) to their school day!
A couple of reminders from the school office and from our crossing guards:
* We continue to see an excessive number tardy arrivals each day. K-8 students should be in the building by 7:50am so that teachers can begin their class time when the bell rings without interruption. Students were reminded about the importance of punctuality during morning announcements today;
* Please remember that cars should never stop ON (or too close to) a crosswalk;
* And, lastly, please walk in front of the crossing guards (not behind) for safety reasons.
Thank you again!
