PICK-UP/DROP-OFF Parents,
I wanted to ask that we be respectful when we're lining up for parent pick-up at the end of the day. Please do not block driveways near the school entrance and please stay off of the property of our neighbors. We've caused some property damage already and would like to prevent it from happening in the future.
Thanks,
Mr. Baisden
