Interfaith Warm Clothing Drive for March
Important request: We would like to ask all parents to please drop off and pick up students ONLY in designated safe areas. It has come to our attention that students are being dropped off in areas that have no sidewalk and that are not designated as a safe drop off. Together lets teach our students the importance of using sidewalks, crosswalks, and to always use safe walking habits like "stop and look both ways." Here are the Parking Lot Rules during drop-off and pick-up:

1. Only drop-off at Safe Designated Areas.
2. Please stay off your phone for your full attention.
3. Driver must stay in the vehicle at ALL times. DO NOT PARK.
4. Pull all the way forward in the line as we work to keep the street uncongested.
5. If walking, please use the crosswalks when crossing. Do not cross through parking lot.
6. The parking lot is for STAFF ONLY. Please do not park in the empty spots until after 8:15 am, as staff are still arriving for work.

Thank you for helping us keep our students safe!

Hello Bernardo Families! The lost and found has grown beyond our rack space. Items that have been hanging around since before 12/10 have been separated with a sign noting they will be donated if not collected by 2/4. The racks are currently located in front of the after-school doors, they will be moved back to the front of the school later this week.

To avoid losing items, please make sure to tag your student's name on their school items and they will be immediately returned to them.

Thank you very much and have a great night!
