safety matters for everyone. Choose Safety Over Convenience.

We need to reinforce and remind that traffic safety matters for everyone. Parents/guardians shall continue to practice safe driving habits around the school. The streets around the school are incredibly busy each day during peak times in the morning and afternoon. Please respect the traffic management and use the school pick-up/drop-off and loading zone. Parents/guardians are encouraged to walk or bike to school with their children or park at an adjacent street to reduce traffic congestion. We all win when everyone follows traffic guidelines. Thank you for your cooperation!
