Dear Parents and Guardians,

Due to safety concerns regarding the temporary gravel access road in front of the elementary school, it will no longer be available for use beginning Monday, January 9^th.

Elementary school parents and guardians who bring their children to school or pick them up in a private vehicle will need to follow a new route.

Cars will be directed behind the high school to the side parking lot of the elementary school where a turnaround loop and parking area will be available.  A staff member will be on duty to escort students into the building in the morning.   All students should be dropped off at this spot, including those who ride to school with older siblings.   Parents and guardians who are picking up students at the end of the day should still come into the elementary lobby to get them.

Parents may still drop off students in the morning using the main bus access after the buses have cleared.  This will be between 8:07 and 8:15.  Students who are not in the building prior to 8:15 will be considered tardy.

Please see the attached map for information regarding the new route.  You may call the school at 669-4422 with additional questions.  This information will also be posted on the school website: www.jvsd.org. 

Thank you for your cooperation.

Mrs. Jessica Quinter

Elementary Principal
