☄️ Important Reminder for Parents & Guardians ☄️

To help ensure a safe, secure, and efficient start to each school day, we ask for your cooperation with the following procedures:

✅ Please drop students off at the entrance doors. We understand that our younger students, especially those in preschool and the primary grades, may need a little extra encouragement or assistance saying goodbye in the morning. A staff member will be available to greet students and escort them to their classroom when needed. Allowing students to transition into the building with staff also helps them establish a consistent and confident morning routine.

✅ If a parent or guardian needs to enter the building, please report directly to the office upon arrival.

✅ To help keep traffic moving safely and efficiently, please do not park in the designated drop-off and pick-up area. These areas are intended for active loading and unloading only.

The safety of our students is our highest priority, and these procedures help us maintain a secure learning environment while ensuring a smooth arrival process for everyone.

Thank you for your partnership and cooperation as we work together to provide a safe and welcoming experience for all Comets.
