SAFE PICK UP AND DROP OFF:  The vehicle lane in front of our school is only to drop off or pick up your student.  This should take less than a minute.  At morning drop off, there is no parking or waiting for the bell to ring while in that lane.  At afternoon pick up, if you are waiting for the bell to ring, you need to remain with the vehicle at all times.  If you or your student needs more time to transition to and from school, please park in the parking lot and cross at the crosswalk flags.  Please drive slowly and cautiously in the lanes and in the parking lot to keep all our students safe.

CELL PHONE POLICY in CSD Elementary Schools – All student cell phones are to be in backpacks and turned off during school hours.  If a student is seen using a cell phone, 1st time they will be asked to turn it off and put it away in the backpack, 2nd time, student will bring the phone to the front office to store it for the day and if there is a third time the parent will be notified and parent will need to pick up phone.
