Student Parking Update

Designers – it has come to our attention that the park is no longer allowing students and staff to park in its spots. We are working to correct this issue, but in the meantime, please park in our lot or the surrounding neighborhood streets.

We ask that you are respectful of our neighbors, obey all parking signs, and for all drivers, whether parents or students, please watch your speed.  There have been many reports of high speed traffic through the neighborhood and we want to ensure safe arrival to and departure from school for our students.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in this matter.
