Just a reminder to motorist in the morning and afternoon car lines at the Elementary and High School: We have a new pattern for traffic - https://5il.co/24wpr. Motorist not following this new pattern are causing a large backup. NOTE: Elementary car riders will load in the normal spot at the awning and then continue to the end of the row before turning left to exit, NOT exiting through the middle parking lot intersection (now has a barrier). If you are unsure of what to do, ask those on duty where to exit. Thank you helping us keep our students safe!
