Tuesday morning we will be utilizing standard drop-off procedures.  This means all students will enter through the breezeway doors.  Staff and helpers will be available in the breezeway to escort new and younger students to the correct spot.

If you are doing curbside drop-and-go in front of the school – please remember not to get out of your car.  Curbside drop-and-go is meant for quick drop-offs only.  If you need to get out of your car to help your child or wish to walk your child to the breezeway door, you must find a parking spot.

Also, if you are not registered for the before-care/after-care program, your child cannot be dropped off before 7:30am.  Students must at school by 7:50am.

Please remember not to park (at drop-off and pick-up):

• ON CHURCH STREET BEFORE THE WHITE FENCE (from Park Street to Oak Place).  This is where the buses park in the morning and afternoon
• In the Handicap spots in St. Mary’s church lot (unless you have a Handicap permit)
• Anywhere in front of Saint James School or the White House across the street (or any other areas noted with a No Parking Sign)

Thank you to all our parents and staff for a GREAT first two days of the 2017-2018 school year!  Remember, there is no school on Monday for the Labor Day Holiday – we will see you back at school on Tuesday morning!  Wishing you all a fun, relaxing, and enjoyable long weekend!

A few parking reminders:

Please do not park:

• ON CHURCH STREET BEFORE THE WHITE FENCE (from Park Street to Oak Place).  This is where the buses park in the morning and afternoon
• In the Handicap spots in St. Mary’s church lot (unless you have a Handicap permit)
• In front of Saint James School or the White House across the street or any other areas noted with a No Parking Sign

Thank you!
