Dear Parents and Guardians,
We want to inform you of a temporary change to our PM dismissal procedures due to road work taking place near the school. The construction is currently occupying the parking areas that are typically available for afternoon pickup.
As a result, families arriving from the south will need to follow a temporary detour:
Please travel down E. Genesee Street, continue around the block, and then come up to Grant Street to reach the pickup area.
Please be aware that very few parking spots will be available during this time. For this reason, parents do not need to get out of their cars during pickup. Leland staff will be outside assisting with student dismissal, helping students to their vehicles, and ensuring they are released safely to the appropriate parent or guardian.
Thank you for your understanding and flexibility while this necessary road work is completed. Your support helps us keep all students safe.
Sincerely,
Chris Bickel
