Parking Lot Procedures
 The Board of Education is asking all Parents to refer to page 25 in their Parent Handbook. It has been brought to our attention that the parking lot procedures are not being followed as stated. The front lot is for parking only and the back is for dropping off.
It has been an inconvenience several times for several parents that need to park in the front lot.  When parents are pulling into the handicap spots and pulling out as soon as their child gets out of the car affects the flow of traffic and the flow needs to be in a timely manner so the students are not late due to an inconvenience.
