Drop Off Procedures
Additional reminder to parents - please be cognizant of our drop off procedures in the morning. If you are dropping your son/daughter off at school, please be sure to keep your car in the lane closest to the sidewalk and be sure that your son/daughter exits the vehicle onto the sidewalk, ONLY. The adult "helpers" outside are there for one reason - SAFETY for all. Please follow their instructions and assistance at all times – especially being waved to move up to the front of the line nearest the sidewalk leading to the crosswalk. This gives cars more room to move away from the long line of cars on Abbott Road. Thank you for understanding and assisting us.
