Dear Parents,
Welcome back to a new school year and a new building. Dropping students off and picking them up has always been a consideration that requires much planning and thought. Every decision is made with student safety in mind. We try to make it convenient for everyone after safe practice is put in place.

1.               All buses will deliver and pick up behind the building. Buses will enter at the north end of the lot and drive behind the school to the designated bus parking area. There are yellow lines painted on the blacktop. Students will exit the cafeteria when it is time to board the bus. Busses will exit the school grounds from the southwest end of the lot.

2.                               Walkers and car riders will enter and leave the school from the front of the building. You should look for them at DOOR Q. There should be no cars behind the building.   Safety patrol will be at all exits to insure that all walkers and riders leave from one door only.   Drivers can pull into the lot up to the coned off area of the drive way. Cars will be stopped there until all students have crossed safely at our crosswalk to the sidewalk bordering the street.

3.             Parents may park in front of the school and come in DOOR A to sign children in / out . Parents must come into the office.

4.             If you drop your child off on Wildwood Road on the opposite side of the road from the school, please remember that they must use the crosswalk. Safety Patrol members will be at that crosswalk to assist . We do not want children dropped off at the far curb and crossing Wildwood Road anywhere but the crosswalk.

5.            PRE-SCHOOL PICK UP AND DROP OFF (car riders) will be in front of the school. Pre-school pick up is at 11:30 and Drop off is 1:00. Pre-School Students will be brought to Door Q for parents picking their child up.

The dedication is on Sept. 5th at 2:00.
