Dear Parents/Guardians:
∙ The school day starts for students at 8:50. Please endeavor to have your child(ren) here prior to that time so that they do not miss the organizational routines of the day and so that actual instruction can begin on time.
∙ We have a student with a tree nut allergy, in addition to our peanut allergies. Please avoid sending any food products containing any type of nut, including coconut.
∙ Parents are not permitted to park in the staff parking area. If for some reason you must park in the area of the school buses you are not permitted to leave the parking lot prior to the departure of the buses. Doing so may inadvertently cause harm to a pedestrian. Please use care and caution while on our premises.
.Please remember our SCENT FREE policy, as we have several students with allergies and asthma who may be affected by scented products.
