Safety First!
Parents, we still need your continued support at arrival and dismissal. If you are a walker, always use the crosswalk on N. Kings Highway. Never cross N. Kings Hwy outside that crosswalk because it teaches our children that it's okay to do that, even when an adult isn't around. That's too dangerous.
If you are a driver, you must follow the directions of the crossing guard, police and staff. Go slowly as you are pulling in and out of our driveway because there might be pedestrians you cannot easily see. Thank you everyone for your work to keep everyone safe.
There is no drop-off before 8:20am because there is no supervision. You can wait with your child until staff begins their outside duty at 8:20am.
 Check out our collaborative art installation in our main hallway. Students worked with our art teacher, Ms. Christopher, to create their own "selfie."
SAVE THE DATE: Family Science Event Saturday, October 13 at Edison High School
