We’ve noticed non-school-related vehicles using our campus parking lots recently.
While we understand that bad weather or a convenient open space can be tempting, please be reminded that school parking lots are reserved exclusively for official school business and events, 24/7. This policy remains in effect even when school is not in session.
Why This Policy is Essential:
Student & Staff Safety: Unexpected traffic flow creates unnecessary hazards. Our campus needs to be a predictable, controlled environment.
Security & Monitoring: To maintain a secure environment, we must be able to identify all vehicles on our property. Unidentified or "strange" vehicles — especially those left overnight or during off-hours — pose a security concern and make it difficult for our teams to monitor the grounds effectively.
Maintenance & Weather Clearance: Even when schools are closed, our maintenance teams are hard at work. We need clear lots for snow removal, salt spreading, and essential repairs. A single unauthorized car can prevent an entire section of the lot from being cleared safely.
Accessibility: We must ensure spots remain available for authorized visitors and emergency vehicles at all times.
Vehicles found in violation of this policy may be subject to ticketing or towing at the owner's expense.
Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us keep our school community safe!

Parents, grab your coffee. Students, get your pajamas on inside out. Teachers... we see you holding your breath.
The Superintendent is heading into a high-stakes huddle with Township Officials today around 6:30 PM. They’ll be talking snow totals, salt trucks, and whether the roads are looking like a winter wonderland or a Mario Kart ice level. 🏎️❄️
🕒 The Game Plan:
6:30 PM: The "Great Weather Debate" begins.
Around 7:00 PM: The official verdict will be sent to your phones and inboxes.
Will it be a "set your alarms" kind of night or a "pancakes for breakfast" kind of morning? Keep your phones charged and your notifications ON! 📱🔔

We are so proud that our current Strategic Plan successfully restored courtesy busing for our families. During these months of snow and ice, sidewalks and pavements can be tricky to navigate.
Why risk the slip dropping off your kids further away from the school? Our buses are ready to provide a safe, direct route directly onto school grounds where cars may not be able to access, even when pavements are messy.
Check your bus schedule and let us do the driving! 🚌✨
