Morning Carpool Reminder From Mr. Regan
3/2/2023 1:33 pm
Recently, we've seen an increase in parents parking and letting their child walk across the parking lot during arrival time. During arrival time (8:45-9:10), please follow the carpool line to the designated unloading zones in front of the building. For the safety of all students and parents, please do not park and walk your child into the building.

They all enjoyed your home cooked scrumptious meals, yum lounge treats, you volunteering to watch kids during their extended lunch and sweet gestures by their students. You made the Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week a lot of fun for them and we could not have done it without you.
