Thank you for your help on making our front and back car line run smoothly in the afternoons! We have done a great job of finishing up the car lines pretty quickly in the afternoon.
We need your help with bike rider and walker safety. Our number of walkers and bike riders have increased this year. We have 4 staff members on duty managing our walkers and bike riders and getting them dismissed safely. We have added an afternoon crossing guard to help with the crosswalk.
Reminders: Vehicles are not allowed to park on Seabiscuit by the playground fence. We have had quite a few cars parking to pick up their students that are walkers. This is backing up our front car line and traffic on Seabiscuit.
IF YOU ARE PICKING UP YOUR STUDENT IN A VEHICLE, YOU WILL NEED TO JOIN THE DISMISSAL CAR LINE SPOT FOR THEIR GRADE LEVEL.
Please be mindful of the crosswalk on Seabiscuit. We have many cars that are not paying attention and speeding through this crosswalk. Safety is our number one priority and we need your help.
Thank you for your help!


Football season is nearly here! Attention Students in PK - 6th grades! You can now sign up for the Fox Squad!
