We have several parents who are still parking in the no parking areas at drop-off and pick-up. This hinders traffic and causes issues for the buses in the afternoon. We have received a complaint from the bus company and we need to remedy this issue. Please remember to obey the no parking signs at all times: no parking in front of the white house across from the school, no parking in front of the breezeway between 1pm and 3pm, do not park in front of the main school between 1pm and 3pm, do not park in the no parking spaces on Otis Street, and do not block the entrance to the parking lot between the school and the Pre-Kindergarten at pickup time. Our children’s safety must come first.
Thank you for your attention to this important matter.
