Week of 9/6/21
GRACE AND GRATITUDE!
Thank you to all of you for making drop off and dismissal easy for everyone. Thank you for NOT driving thru the alley and allowing enough time to park and pick up your students. Thank you for wearing your mask at all time and leaving campus right when the bell rings at drop off. All of those things matter.
Let's continue the momentum by being kind towards each other and having patience and flexibility during drop off and dismissal.
