I noticed some unsafe practices during morning drop off this week. In the name of safety, please do not jay walk in front of the school as it is so busy. I know it is a little farther to the crosswalk, but it will only take a minute to be safe. I also saw someone double park and drop their kids off in the road. The last thing I would ever want is someone to get hurt because someone else is in a hurry... Thanks for watching out for all of our kids out there!
Have a wonderful Family Day long weekend, and enjoy some great time with your families!
Educationally yours,
Derek 😊
