we ask that you make transportation arrangements with your children

before they depart for school in the morning.

Your cooperation will greatly minimize the interruptions during the

instructional day.

in a timely manner.

Attention Parents:

Please encourage your student to drink plenty of

water at home and school, as the temperature is

still fairly high.
