Announcements *****************

**** We need the city to post signs reserving the bus lane and moving the handicapped parking space forward to accommodate the length needed for all buses. Please help us by contacting your councilman and request this done. Also you can call and speak to Mr. Luke Cofield (phone # 404-330-6501 of City Traffic & Transportation.

**** 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.

***Magnet Open House will be 11/6, 7:00 p.m., theater. All magnet parents and students are invited to attend. Also,  all perspective parents and students are invited to attend; there will be a special session for this group after the main program. Please help spread the word because this date is a week earlier than usual.

The lot will be re-surfaced with punch-outs in the middle of the lot for trees.  Students who drive cars will have to park on the street during this period.
