Parent Notice

Please do not park in the lower lot by the gym or on the hill.  These spots are assigned student parking.  Also, for safety reasons, no student is to be picked up anywhere but out front during regular pick-up times.  The cars in the lower lot are creating a distracting and safety hazard.  Your cooperation is appreciated.
