The morning hours are getting colder, which means foggy windshields. We urge all students to check both ways before crossing streets or sidewalks to confirm that cars see you. Drivers, we urge that you defrost and clear your windshield completely for full range of sight before moving so we can keep our students safe. Don't be our pictured driver.
Thank you!
