Afternoon Pick-up Parking Reminder
/in Uncategorized /by Saint James SchoolMrs. Kanute would like to remind parents about observing the posted no-parking signs when picking up students from the Pre-Kindergarten in the afternoon. Specifically, there is a No Parking sign from the corner of Otis Street to just before the first driveway on Otis. There is also a No Parking sign across from the school on Park Street. Parking in these areas blocks the cross-walk area and makes it difficult for other drivers. Thank you for helping us to keep everyone safe.
