Road Work Notice

Weather permitting, we will be making some repairs to the school parking lot entrance tomorrow (Thursday) between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. The school parking lot will be closed during this time. If you need to come to the school during these hours please park to the left of the parking lot and walk in from the pedestrian entrance gate. 

We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause. The result will be a smoother drive into the parking area and hopefully a lot less mud on rainy days.

Big thanks to Deva Henderson and Dasaratha Hill for making financial contributions toward this effort.
