**** Reminder: Please leave the bus lanes clear on Charles Allen
Drive during drop-off (7:30-8:45) and pick-up times (3:00 - 3:45).
Parents, we started the year very well, honoring the bus lanes, now cars
are being parked there and blocking the buses. School staff are then
required to track down the driver to remove the car. This takes time away
from our students. Please honor the bus lanes. Thanks.
