Morning Drop Off Reminder

Morning Drop Off Changes will take effect April 4th (upon returning from Spring Break) We are very fortunate to finally begin our addition and renovation project. I thank you in advance for your patience and understanding as we make changes due to construction.

MORNING DROP OFF Beginning April 4th, we will use the following route for morning drop off. Please access the school lot from Prague Road and drop students off near the entrance to the gym – exiting to the north near the north gate, and to the south near the south gate. While access will remain open around the back of the building, we want to avoid any traffic through the construction zone. This arrangement will be in place through the end of the school year.

Dismissal will NOT change.
