Attendance

Accessible Parking

Thanks to our families for keeping our students safe and buses moving by staying out of the bus loop during our arrival and dismissal times. If you need accessible parking during these times, there are accessible parking spots in the side parking lot directly across from our bus loop/door 1 and door 3  for building access. 


Bike Lanes

 

Thank you for your patience and flexibility during our arrival and dismissal times. As a reminder, please do not park in the bike lanes near our school. This causes traffic congestion and is unsafe for our students and families. This week we will be putting up the orange cones again as a reminder not to park in these areas.
