**Good Morning Parents!**
Please help us ensure a safe and smooth start to the school day for all our students.
**Morning Drop-off Reminders:**
Parent Pick-Up Location:
Kindly drop off your students at the designated parent pick-up location by the gymnasium each morning.
Drop-off Time:
For the safety of all, please do not drop off students in the front of the building prior to 8:10 AM. This area is reserved for bus unloading, and early drop-offs create significant safety concerns.
Your cooperation helps us keep everyone safe! Thank you for being wonderful partners in your child's education.
