Dear Parents & Guardians,

Welcome back to school! 

🚗 Important Parking & Traffic Changes

As you return to campus, please be aware of a new traffic pattern and parking area.

The parking lot North of the fire station is no longer available and is currently a construction site. Instead, we have a new parking lot located directly behind the Elementary School as well as along the East side of the soccer field, which will provide parking for both the Elementary and Jr. High
