Safety Mindfulness
Remember to do the COVID Health Screening every day with our children. Here is the link
Please keep in mind that there is to be no congregating of families at drop off and pickup times on the school grounds. This is for everyone’s safety during this hopefully final push of Covid.
ROAD SAFETY:
Avoid going down the south side of Lochside Drive completely. Don’t do pullovers or three point turns on that street. It is a very busy biking trail and we have seen so many close calls there.
If you are going into the drop-off lane in front of the school, drive up as close to the rocks as you can, and definitely do not stop on the yellow line by the flag pole. Kids should be ready to hop out safely. Do not park or leave your car in the drop off lane.
We really want to encourage all parents to park 5 minutes away from the school and enjoy that short walk to and from the school grounds. Thanks so much for your help on this.
