• Due to the lack of space and congestion in the main lobby, we are asking parents to leave all strollers outside the building.      
• During dismissal time, please keep the corridors and lobby clear so that students can safely exit the building or get to their after school programs.
• Please do not park in the bus area on Adams Street during drop off and pick up. It makes it extremely difficult for students to safely get on and off buses when cars are parked in the bus area.
• We understand parking is challenging in the West Loop, however, we are asking parents not to park in the staff parking lot, and not to block the drive ways of the West Loop residents. We have been warned that parents who block drive ways will be towed.
