Hello all:
Here are a handful of updates to keep in mind for today and moving forward.
1) Today is our first early release day. Dismissal starts at 3:05 PM.
2) Car pick-up and drop-off: When the right lane on Laser Way gets full, please start another lane of cars in the middle lane. Cars will zipper merge to make one lane at the intersection of the Middle School and Dousman Campus parking lot.
3) Please remain in your car and staff will help your child out, if needed.
4) Please do not park your car in the parking lot and bring your child to the front door. The pedestrian traffic slows down our car line.
Thank you for your flexibility and patience. The procedures do get faster as we get in the rhythm. Before you know it, car drop-off and pick-up will run smoothly and quickly.
Take Care:
Dr. Nies
