Help keep our students safe!

As part of our ongoing efforts to maintain a safe environment for our students, we kindly ask that parents/guardians and visitors refrain from waiting in the bus loop area or using it as a shortcut across school grounds during school hours. This helps us maintain a safe and focused learning environment for our students throughout the day. If you are volunteering, please make sure you have checked in at the front office and have your visitor sticker visible. Additionally, please do not pull personal vehicles in the bus loop area between 8:15 am and 4:00 pm. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
