Thank you to everyone for helping make our first few days run so smoothly! We want to share a few important parking lot reminders as we continue to get into our daily routines:

• Our parking lot is one way. Cars should enter from Harlem Road and exit onto Elm.
• If you are parking and walking your student to the building, please use the crosswalk.
• Starting Tuesday: K families should stop at the edge of the sidewalk near Door 7.
• EC families should walk their child to the gated area in the back of the school by door 6.
• If you are using the drop-off line, please stay to the right when entering the parking lot.
• Please wait until a staff member opens the car door before your child exits the vehicle.

Thank you so much for your cooperation! Following these procedures will help keep everyone safe and allow our arrival process to run as smoothly as possible.

Everyone has been doing a great job these first few days. We truly appreciate your patience and teamwork! 💙
