PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE

TRANSPORTATION UPDATE

Effective Monday morning, November 9th, our buses will arrive/depart in the back lot adjacent to the cafeteria. Students will enter/exit through the hallway doors. Please note that this area will be coned off and will be unavailable for parking in the future. The front parking area (by the flagpole) will be our new visitor parking area. This change will allow students to enter the building without being exposed to inclement weather and also allows our parents to use the front visitor parking lot again. This does not impact children who are picked up by their parents. They will continue to wait in the cafeteria. Because the back lot will have children loading or unloading buses, we need to reserve this area for buses and bus riding children only. Walkers and students transported by their parents should enter/exit through the front doors of the school. Thank you for your consideration.

Kind regards,
Miss McClain
