SAFETY INFORMATION

The safety of our children is a major concern. Please help us to teach good safety habits and the safest, most direct route to and from school. Teach your child to cross the street only at crosswalks and to look both ways before crossing, Instruct your child not to talk to strangers and to go directly to and from home and school. Remember, there is no after school supervision. If you drive your child to school, please drive slowly when dropping your child off or waiting for your child. The safest thing to do is to park your car and escort your child to or from the car. Deliver or pick up of your child only on the school side of the street. Do not park in the parking lot or direct your child to pas through the parking lot gate. Please do not park in the bus zone.
