As a reminder, when dropping off students in the morning. Please drop them off so they can exit onto the sidewalk and not have to cross all of the lanes. When dropping off students, all are encouraged to use the entire length of the fire lane when dropping off students. Students that are walking to school and crossing Elm need to use the signals to help with alert oncoming traffic. Thanks for your assistance with keeping students safe. Have a great week!
Go Red Raiders!
