Traffic Pattern Change
To ensure the safety of all of our students during afternoon dismissal, we will be implementing the traffic pattern below. There is only one entry into the afternoon car line. All students will exit at the designated area. All parents from the car line will exit by the dumpsters. Officer Huffman will be at his same location and will enforce that being a student exit only. Please follow the arrows below, if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to me or Officer Huffman.
