🚗 A Friendly Pick-Up Reminder! 🚗
To help keep our students safe and alleviate traffic congestion, we are asking all Band parents to use the New Gym/ Teacher Parking Lot for student pick-up and drop-off at all times.
The traffic flow in front of the Band Hall can become very busy during arrival and dismissal times, making it difficult for students to safely navigate the area. Using the New Gym/ Teacher Parking lot provides a safer and more efficient space for everyone.
Thank you for helping us make student safety our top priority and for doing your part to keep traffic moving smoothly. 😊

Student and Parents! It is important that we have a Physical on file for physical activity. You can get your physical with your pediatrician/ primary care doctor. There are also clinics offering physicals at a low cost or free!
