Attention Parents/Caregivers of Car Riders: Just a few reminders. Please pull up to the farthest cones and signs, so we can allow as many students out in front of the building as possible. Please have your children exit the car on building side, so they are not walking in the street. Please stay in your car, and staff members will assist your child getting into the building. We are going to start getting students out of cars at 8:10am, and the doors will open at 8:20am. We have teachers monitoring students out front while they are waiting for the doors to open. Our goal is to get everyone out of cars and into the building by 8:30. Students must be in the building by 8:30am, or they are considered tardy. Thank you for your help to make the car rider line go safely and smoothly each day!
