END OF THE YEAR As we near the end of school, we have a few more short days.  May 23^rd is an early release days; May 28th is a holiday – no school; May 30^th is a minimum day – students out at 12:50 PM; and May 31^st is a minimum day – students out at 12:50 PM.

PARKING Our neighborhood police officer has informed me that parents will be ticketed for traffic and parking violations.  Drivers who park in the red or white zone may be ticketed without being present.  This means a police officer does not need to speak with a driver to issue a ticket.  An officer can write a ticket using the license plate number and a ticket will be sent home.   The white zone in front of school is intended for drop off and pick up during the stated times.  If you need to help your child out of the car or would like to walk them to class, please do not park in the white or red zones that are clearly marked on the curb.
