CARPOOL NEWS
For the safety of our students, we require all students to have someone accompany them to their car. At
carpool A and B, the students are accompanied by teachers. Every other carpool pick up requires a parent to
walk to where the children are gathered and then walk together back to your car. No child should be moving to
a car alone. If you are picking your child up from the Carpool B Crosswalk, please exit your car and accompany
your child to your car.
