Parents/Guardians:
When picking up your child from school, you must park in a parking space. State code requires us to keep a lane open in our parking lot for the Fire Dept/EMS/Police.
This is nonnegotiable. If you cannot adhere to this rule, then there are two options:
#1 Fire Marshall can issue you a ticket
#2 Student pickup time will be changed to 3:40 pm instead of 3:20 pm.
As always, my first goal is the safety of my students & staff.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. Principal Stone
Bus Update: This afternoon, BUS 611 will transport the students who live on Lorton Lick and Bus 599 will transport the students who live on Windmill Gap.
This is due to overflow and because BUS 614 is not running because we have no substitute bus. In anticipation of no substitute bus driver tomorrow, this transportation modification will remain the same.
Thank you for your patience and understanding during this time. We are actively seeking bus drivers and the job posting is listed below for your perusal:
