On Monday, May 2, 3rd and 4th grade students will no longer line up to enter the building from the eastside blacktop area of the elementary school. Students who are dropped off will now enter the building through the front doors and go through the foyer to the blacktop area located at the back of the school. All elementary students will stay on the playground until school begins. For dismissal, students will not be released through the eastside doors. Students will exit the building through the front doors or the courtyard doors near the front of the school. All students not riding the bus will be picked up at the front of the school. This way, we will be able to increase supervision and alleviate some other safety concerns. Please do not drop off or pick up your child in the gravel area east of the fence.
