Dear Parents and Guardians,

As we look forward to the excitement of our first day of school today, we kindly ask for your patience and cooperation during arrival and dismissal.

Please be especially mindful of student safety around the school grounds. We currently have active construction on and around the campus, so we urge all drivers to:

  • Drive slowly and remain alert for students walking and crossing.
  • Pay close attention to all posted signs regarding temporary traffic patterns and construction navigation.
Thank you for your help in ensuring a safe, smooth, and wonderful start to the 2026–2027 school year!
