Friday Focus - Student a.m. drop off
As the first official week of fall is upon us, and the weather turns colder, we always see an increase in families dropping off their student at school. If you drop off your student at school, please help the morning back-up by remembering the following:
- When coming towards the school from the stadium stop sign, please pull along the front of the theater ALL THE WAY towards the auto shop. That door #43 is also unlocked at the beginning of the day. This will help tremendously with the back-up at the Dundee stoplight.
