Morning Drop-Off and Afternoon Pick-Up
Please remember that students are NEVER to be dropped off straight from the car, for any reason, ever. It is deeply unsafe and creates extra traffic in an already crowded area.
Double parking or stopping in the middle of the street should not happen as well, for the same reasons.
Please do not use our next door neighbors driveway to turn around. It may seem harmless, but it happens several times a day, every day and they have been complaining. Please help us to continue to be on good terms with our neighbors.
Please relay this information to anyone who drops your child off.
Those who violate this rule will be subject to increasingly long and tedious lectures from Mr. Dan. |

Earthquake Kit Update
Please remember to turn in your child's Earthquake Kit to the Grove ASAP! There is a box for the kits and a list to check your child's name off.
If you did not get your kit back at the end of last year, it is likely because there were some that were ruined when water got into the barrel. The nametags were not readable so we couldn't even tell whose they were. They were also moldy and super-gross so Mr. Dan had to toss them out. We've since moved the barrels and are taking better precautions this year--ideally this will be the last time returning families have to assemble kits. Thank you!
