Highland Ave The old drop off zone in front of the building is now parking spaces without restrictions. Our hope is that these spaces will be occupied by staff. The purpose of the access drive is to make our campus safer. Please utilize the loop and do not drop off or pickup in the former loading zone.

Highland Ave The driveway on the playground side of the campus is off limits for drop off and pick up. The parking spaces on this side are designated for handicapped, faculty, and staff only. Do not use either drive as a turn around at any time, this is a major safety issue.

Sidewalks Please encourage sidewalk usage and cross only at the crosswalk. Bicycles riders (4 th and 5 th Grade) must walk their bike in front of and on campus. James Ave. traffic will be increased so please use caution when crossing at this intersection. Pic of main crosswalk Pic of James crosswalk
