Important: Drop-off & Pickup

/in /by

Mrs. Zorger is asking families once again to please be respectful of the laws and drive very slowly when in our school zone.  We do not want a terrible accident in our school community.

**We are fortunate to have a crossing guard in front of our school — please be aware of her positioning when driving through this area.

**Also, please set a good example and cross at the crosswalk during pick-up and drop-off – particularly when you are with your child/ren.  There have been a lot of parents/kids darting across the street in the mornings and afternoons. This is an accident waiting to happen – please cross at the crosswalk with the crossing guard, particularly during these heavy traffic times.

Our number one priority is keeping our students safe but we need your cooperation, patience, and understanding to make it happen.  Thank you for your support and attention to this pressing matter.
