A Note From District: Morning Traffic
- To more efficiently keep the car line moving, please use front circle drive and not the parking lot for drop off. Students can be dropped off as early as 7:15am. There is typically no line at this time
- Please do not block the handicap spots by stopping in the lot to unload. Do not pull into the handicap parking spaces unless you are legally authorized to do so.
- Pull all the way forward to the sign “end of drop off/pick up zone.” Exit the car on the curbside only. Students should exit when your car stops.
- There is only one crosswalk, which is near the office. A parent/guardian must walk students to the crosswalk to wait for a supervisor to signal when it is safe to cross. Students should not be dropped off in the parking lot without a parent/guardian escort to the crosswalk due to traffic and safety concerns
- Have your student ready to exit the car when you enter the lot to save time

Black History Month Resources- JOCO Mental Health
It’s Black History Month! This year’s theme is Black Resistance. Black people have resisted historic and ongoing oppression in all forms. By resisting, Black people have achieved triumphs, successes and progress that can be seen in various forms like laws, art, film and media, political representation, etc.
In the mid-1800s, prominent American physician Samuel Cartwright created two racist and false mental health diagnoses to label Black people with the hopes of keeping them oppressed, captive and abused. There is so much to be learned about Black history, especially within the mental health space.
This month, we’d like to highlight Black pioneers in mental health who have resisted the stigma of mental health in the Black community and contributed important and meaningful work despite the structural, institutional and individual barriers they face. We thank them for their integral, persistent and often overlooked contributions.
