Cold weather is coming. With the weather changes, parking lot congestion, and flu season, it is important to remember a few safety tips.

1. Students who are feeling ill or experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 or the Flu should stay home until they have no fever or are feeling better. Please call and let us know to excuse your student's absence.
2. There will be an increase in traffic due to more cars dropping off and picking up children. Please slow down and follow the parking lot signs. Families should not leave their car unattended in either lane. Families should not drop off students in the far lane, this is very unsafe and creates a danger for drivers and your children. I ask that when you are crossing the road in front of the school that you use the crosswalk. This will help all students remember to use it when crossing.
3. Please help your children remember to bring a warm coat and shoes appropriate for the weather. Please let us know if we can help with winter clothing.
4. Watch for the orange flags around the school. The orange flag represents an inside morning. Students are allowed to come into the school building at 8:15. Students should not arrive at school any earlier than 8:00 to eat Breakfast.  For more information about cold weather policies, snow days, and inside days Click Here.
