NEED YOUR HELP: SAFETY REMINDER: DROP OFF AND PICK UP:
Do not drop students off or pick them up on Herrick Ave.
Please do not drop off or pick up students on Herrick Ave. This is dangerous in normal conditions, but even more so in winter, when icy roads and snowbanks pose increased risks to our students. Our priority is student safety; unpredictable road conditions greatly increase the risk of accidents.
