School Updates – May 4th, 2022

Traffic

Father Don has received a complaint from a neighbor regarding vehicles idling in front of houses on the streets near the school. It is important that we have good relations with our neighbors. Please be sure to turn off your vehicle when parked.

Also, please refrain from:

                -using the staff parking area as a drop off area, as students use this as a pedestrian area

                -there are no areas for drop off/pick up. All vehicles should park before students exit/enter

                their vehicle

-only those families who have paid for the privilege to park in the auction spaces are to park there

These are in place to keep all pedestrians, especially our students safe. We appreciate your cooperation.
