Road Closure Update
Starting Thursday, 9/10 through 9/30, Maple will be closed between Main St. and Sultana St. Please allow additional time for detours during pick up and dismissal.
Drop-off/Pick-up Reminders
Students are to be dropped off and picked up in the student pickup area only. Follow the traffic flow (double lane) through the drop-off/pick-up lane, stopping alongside the curbs. Children will enter or exit your car at this location. At no time should parents park or drive through the staff parking lot, as this can create a safety hazard at drop-off and pick-up times. Please follow the directions of school staff members supervising this area. Also, remember to join the end of the line and right turn only into the driveway from Muscatel, do not turn left into the parking lot as this cuts other parents off. You may move into the second lane once you are inside the parking lot.
