Reminder: No School Tomorrow - Friday, April 24th.
Edgemont Traffic Circle Reminder
Please be mindful when using the school traffic circle during drop-off to help keep all students safe.
Do not drop students in the middle of the circle. If the drop-off zone is full, please park in the lot. Use the outside lane only, pull all the way forward near the kindergarten doors, have children exit quickly, and then merge back into the center lane to exit.
We are also seeing several safety concerns:
- Parking signs are not being followed.
- Vehicles are being left unattended or parked in the “hug-and-go” zone.
- Cars are stopping on both sides of the entrance aisle, blocking access.
- Double parking in the circle is stopping traffic flow.
- Vehicles are driving through the coned-off areas.
Supervision and soft entry begin at 900 a.m.
Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our families safe.
