Important Dismissal Update 
 

Now that the weather is getting warmer, we are seeing more of our families gathering at the playground after school. We absolutely love this show of community spirit! It’s wonderful to see friends playing together and parents connecting with one another. At the same time, this increased activity around dismissal time means we must be extra mindful of safety. Ensuring that all of our students can leave school safely and that our pick‑up areas remain secure for everyone is our top priority.

Beginning Monday, all vehicles arriving for dismissal must enter and exit using Normal Ave. Access to the back parking lots from Greenwood Ave. will be blocked, and only the Main Office will be accessible from the front circle drive. We recognize that this change may lead to some congestion during dismissal times, but hope that this new pattern will help keep traffic flowing more predictably and, most importantly, keep our students safe. Thank you for your cooperation and support as we implement this update!
