Parking Lot - Safety first!

Parking is a challenge for everyone, but the front parking lot is for staff only in the mornings. This is to ensure that teachers have parking and can get to their class on-time. Parents parking in the lot and children running through the parking lots are of great concern. Parents can drop off their child by the cafeteria and not get out of their car.
