Special thanks to our friends at the Spencer Street Department for adding yellow painted lines on Hillside Avenue as a visual reminder to NOT park there during arrival and dismissal times.
Please help us keep our kids safe by following parking procedures, paying attention to cross guards, and watching for children who might dart into traffic.
It takes all of us working together to protect our children!
