As a reminder, please do not park in the St. Mary’s Church parking lot when picking up or dropping off your children at school. St. Mary’s staff specifically request that our families do not park there. Please utilize the St. James Church Parking Lot (across the street) instead.
Also, please do not park in the driveway behind the blue house (between the blue house and the grass lot on the corner). There is a sign on the fence noting this area is reserved for SJS staff only.
Lastly, another reminder to please utilize the crosswalks when crossing the streets in front of the school in the mornings and afternoons. We want to continue to model safe practices for our students and we are fortunate that the town provides us with two crossing guards at high-traffic times to help keep our families safe.
Please share these important messages with anyone else that may be picking up or dropping of your child/ren.

Morning Drop & Go

If you wish to get out of the car to get your child situated or your child needs help with their backpack, please continue to use the Church lot or any of the applicable side streets (following the street signs for parking, of course). Parents should not exit their car at the “drop & go” area.
Also, if you arrive at school and your child needs a few minutes to finish breakfast, etc. please do not hold up the drop & go line.
Thank you again for helping our morning arrival run safely and smoothly.
Congratulations!
