Let’s support each other in making arrival and dismissal onto our campus safe and organized for everyone!

REMINDERS FOR ALL:

• Do not park or wait in RED ZONES/Drop off and pick up in YELLOW ZONE only!
• Do not drop off children in the middle of the parking lot!  This is not safe, and it backs up the flow of traffic.  Please park your car and come on campus to drop off or pick up your child.
• Please use the crosswalk into and from school.  Listen to the crossing guard and safety patrol students.
• Be courteous to other drivers and pedestrians – children are present!
• No texting and driving!
• Please follow the one-way exit out of our parking lot.  Do not enter our parking lot the wrong way.
• Bottom line:  BE RESPECTFUL, BE RESPONSIBLE, BE SAFE!

Thank you for your support!

 

Our new Morning Mileage Club will be starting up soon!  We need parent volunteers to help out each morning from 7:30-7:55.  Please contact Bree Watson at bree.watson@cvesd.org if you are able to help out a few mornings each week.  Thank you!
