It’s been a great start to school! We have some sleepy kids today 🙂 (Principal too!). Please keep safety in mind at morning drop-off. I placed out crossing signs. Safest drop-offs are on West 1st St. (southbound), West G (north side of building), or West F (next to school) so kids don’t cross streets. It’s especially important when days get shorter. Thanks for helping keep our kids safe!
