Parking Reminder
Please help us be good
neighbors by parking only in designated areas. Recently, neighbors have
expressed frustration regarding cars blocking driveways during
arrival and dismissal times. Blocking a drive for "only a of couple of
minutes" to pick up or drop off a student is not an acceptable reason.
Fairfax County Police Officers have increased their patrols and have
issued tickets to drivers who are parked illegally. Thank you for you
assistance.

Arrival & Dismissal Procedures
Arrival and dismissal are busy times of the school day. To help ensure a safe orderly experience at those times we ask all parents/caregivers to adhere to the following procedures:
-
During arrival, parents/caregivers wishing to walk children to their classroom must arrive prior to the 8:25 a.m. tardy bell (school doors open at 8:05 a.m.).
-
At dismissal (3:10 p.m.), parents/caregivers picking up students must wait outside to meet their student.
