Safety Notice
Please be reminded that it is unlawful and unsafe to leave cars unattended in the drop-off/dismissal lane (stepping out of your car to assist your child going in or out is fine). Aside from risking a ticket from the police, doing so creates a major inconvenience and safety hazard to other drivers and our precious children. Please be considerate- if you need to escort your child into the school, park your car first!
