Winter Drop Off Procedures

From December1 through February 27 we will gather as a school
community in Kemp Hall for the Pledge of Allegiance each morning.
Upcoming Events

We ask that you continue to drop your children off along the yellow line for
the safety of all of the children. The children should proceed inside and go
to Kemp Hall (the cafeteria) for the Pledge.
November 27 – November 28

When dropping off your child in the morning, please remember that the
drop-off line is only for drop-offs. If you need to park your car and get out,
please park in the back parking lot to prevent cars from pulling around your
parked car. This creates a very dangerous situation for the children.
