Traffic

Parents, we are well aware of the traffic issues and are working to find the best solution. We are unloading and loading as many students as possible and still do it safely.
The problem is we never know how many cars will show up on any given day. We can't start loading early, as we have to stick to our instructional schedules. So bear with us, we are doing our best to keep your time in the lines as short as possible.
