Reminders: Parking, Morning Drop-off, & Afternoon Pick-Up

 A few reminders to ensure the traffic flow around our school remains safe for our students and their families. Please be sure share this information with anyone who drops off or picks up your children. 

* Do not park in the bus area (on Church street) at afternoon dismissal (from the corner of Oak Place up to Park Street) until all buses have left our campus (after 2:10pm)

* Please CAREFULLY watch the crossing guards on Park Street and drive slowly!!

* Do not, under any circumstances, block our neighbors’ driveways or park in the Otis Street condos parking lot.

* Pay attention to all NO PARKING signs and CONES around the school – these areas are off limits for a reason.

* Please remember the entire front of the school is for quick “drop and go” only from 7:30am – 7:50am.  If your child needs a few extra minutes or if you wish to get out of the car with your child, please pull down the street past the Pre-K building to park.

The Map Below shows our Drop-and-Go areas for morning drop-off and areas that are available to park in the morning and afternoons.

Thank you again for your support of our school’s policies.
