Safe Drop-Off and Pick-Up Reminder 

As we begin a new school year, we want to remind everyone about the importance of safe and respectful driving during student drop-off and pick-up times. Our top priority is keeping students safe, and we appreciate your cooperation in following the rules of the road and school procedures. 

A few key reminders: 

• Please drive slowly and remain alert in school zones. 
• Always use designated drop-off and pick-up areas. 
• Do not stop in crosswalks or bus lanes. 
• Remind your child to enter and exit vehicles on the sidewalk side. 
• Be patient—safety comes before convenience. 

Thank you for helping us create a safe environment for all students. Together, we can ensure smooth and secure drop-off and pick-up each day.
