Welcome back to school!
Our Back to School Conference is in the books!📚 We want to give a huge thank you to our educators and administrators for making today such a success! You are laying the foundation for a wonderful school year, and it’s clear that “Alabama has something to say!” We can’t wait to see our classrooms filled up again in just a few short days!
Pre- K Parents:
We have a new gravel pull-through area for our Pre-K carline that we are hoping will help with the congestion during the afternoon carline. Please review the map so that the carline will go as smoothly as possible. There are gates that you will go through to go around the loop and then to exit. Please do not get in the grass, please stay on the gravel. We will have teachers outside to help everyone know where to stop and load.

Parents of students Kindergarten through fifth grade:
There are some minor adjustments to carline this year. Everyone will still line up on the same road. Please enter on Stroup Road then turn left on to Mosley Loop Road. However, to keep the front of the school entrance open in the afternoon, we are going to push the line back a few feet. This is so that the front entrance is not blocked. There will be a road barricade to indicate where to start the line. When carline begins, we will move the barricade so that you can pull forward. The parking lot map shows the directions to go in and out. PLEASE REMEMBER there is NO TURNING LEFT into the parking during carline time.

We are so proud of these amazing musicians, and we are so proud of how well they represented their school!
