Attention parents/guardians - Due to a house fire on Lincoln Street west of the school, FIRST GRADE pick-up traffic will need to use the following route: Please use South Street to access the alley between Ledford and McKinley Streets. Please come down the alley to the front of the school and you will then turn left onto Lincoln Street to pick your child up. Our resource officer will be on South Street at the alley to guide you.
Parent(s)/Guardian(s),
If you are dropping your child off this morning, please try to avoid using Lincoln St. in front of the school, as buses have been rerouted due to flooding on Raymond St. Thank you for your cooperation, and sorry for any inconvenience. Thank you!
