| Drop off/Pick Up | June 5, 2015 - 9:34am |
Please remember that there is NO supervision for students who are eating breakfast prior to 7:55. If your student is eating breakfast at school, please refrain from dropping them off or letting them walk to school prior to 7:55 a.m. If your student is not participating in the breakfast program they should be dropped off when the gates open at 8:20. Our priority in the morning is keeping the kids safe. It is a safety concern when students are hanging out in front of the school with no adult supervision. |
