Starting on Monday, October 18th, and lasting until at least November 5th, 4th street NE will be closed to traffic (except for school buses) from 7:30-8:30 am and 2:30-3:30 pm each school day. Parents who are dropping students off in the morning and/or picking students up after school will need to approach the school on 5th street NE.
All traffic will enter and leave the CRES parking lot through the north-most entrance/exit. When entering the parking lot, please turn right, as all traffic will be one-way (counterclockwise). Please see the attached map.
This is due to construction on county road 31 that will be blocking the bus loop entrance, forcing all bus traffic to enter and exit the bus loop through the main CRES parking lot.
While nobody is very excited about this change, we will all need to be patient and ensure our parking lot remains a safe place for student drop off and pick up.
Thank you, in advance, for your patience and understanding.
Coats for Kids will be available at the Westgate Mall this Saturday, October 16.
