Safety Reminder 
We've noticed that many parents are dropping their kids off in the parking lot and allowing them to walk across, which is causing safety concerns. To ensure the safety of all our students, we strongly recommend that all parents use our two designated car drop-off lines and avoid parking. Our students are becoming more independent and are ready to walk to their classrooms, so your cooperation is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter.
