Parent Procedures - Just a Few Reminders
Coming and Going...
Parents, please use the crosswalks at arrival and dismissal. It is a good safety practice for students, and parents have the opportunity to model it as you arrive and leave the school.
Remember that dogs and other pets are not allowed on campus especially not at arrival and dismissal. We do have a service animal on campus.
The teacher parking lot is reserved for teachers. Please park on the street if you are walking your student in or waiting up for pick up.
Lunch...
Parents are welcome to come for lunch. Please sign in at the office. We do have a designated table for student lunches with parents. Fridays seem to be crowded, so if possible you might want to try another day. Parent lunches are for students and their parents. Please do not take other students to the table.
