"Important information regarding the H1N1 flu"

 

I’d like to share a serious safety concern that continues to exist at George Washington School.  As you may recall, the area located adjacent to the playground on Leslie Street has been designated as the student drop off area for all children being transported to school.  Those students dropped off across the street must walk to the corner and cross under the direction of the school crossing guard.

 

To ensure the safety of all children, please be reminded that dropping children off in our parking lot on Winans Avenue is prohibited.  Our children who walk to school enter the playground at this location.

 

Let’s all work together to keep our children safe.
