Safety Corner

Parents: Please be patient in our parking lot as it tends to be very crowded during the rainy season.Also, a reminder about the mornings: please do not drop off your child before 8:00 a.m. Parents, please do not stop in the fire lane where the curbs are painted red when dropping off or picking up your child.

Students: If you walk to school and pass by the football field, continue on the Lafayette Avenue sidewalk until you get to the front of the school.  DO NOT walk across the parking lot before school or after school to save time. Stay on the sidewalk and be safe!
