“As we are coming closer to the end of the school year, I ask that families be aware

of a few challenges to morning drop off on the North side. There has been an increase in student drivers who need to park in the uncovered spaces near the Warner entrance. The spaces in front of the academies are for visitors and volunteers. The covered spaces are reserved for faculty and staff. If you wish to walk your student to the building, I ask that you enter from Alma School and temporarily park in front of the Archway Chandler entrance and drop off your student. Thank you for your partnership in this matter.  

               Sincerely, Mrs. Brady

Best Regards,

The Second Grade Team
