🚧 Temporary Parking Changes This Week 🚍
With Primary Swimming in full swing, we’ll be allocating a small section of roadside parking each afternoon to make room for two buses.
This helps everything run more smoothly at pick-up and, most importantly, keeps our students safe as they get off the bus.
Thanks for your patience and support as we help keep traffic flowing and our students safe! 💙
