K-8 Announcements

Dismissal Pedestrian Safety: The safety of our students and community is our top priority. We have identified a safety concern for our pedestrians during dismissal. Students and families are cutting across traffic as they arrive and leave campus, therefore we are returning to our pre-pandemic walking procedures: 

• Beginning Monday, November 14th, only car line students will exit the front gates. 
• All walking students and families will enter and exit through the Maybrook or the bike path gates, where crosswalks are more accessible. Walking/biking families will not enter through the front gates – please enter campus to pick up your student using the Maybrook or bike path gate.
• Students who bike or ride their scooter or skateboard will pick up their bike from the locked area, then exit the back of campus.
• CLICK HERE to see a map of available crosswalks that should be used by all of our pedestrians. 
• One more thing – please don’t drop off or pick up your student in the middle of the street. THANK YOU for your partnership in keeping our community safe.
