3. Parents who need to access the school, High School students with vehicles, and teachers are to enter the same direction as busses.
4. Parents using the lot across from The Lutheran Church to drop off their children MUST direct them to use the crosswalk that has the lights. There will be no exceptions for safety.

NOTICE 11:00AM - NOV 24TH 2024:
CAO Donna here
We are experiencing a water main break that we are trying to isolate. This isn't an easy one folks!
We are reducing water pressure to everything from 48 Avenue going south at this time. You will notice a difference. When we isolate the break the water will be shut off and we don't know for how long. Our contractor crews are on the way as we spent most of the night regulating water and monitoring.
You may wish to conserve water now as we can't give you an exact time of water shut off.
We appreciate your cooperation on this and crews working in this cold will need room to work. Please note, we can't confirm times. Please prepare conservatively so we can keep our systems from being over taxed.
Much appreciated and please share.
