• SECURITY REMINDERS
  Thank you very much for your patience and cooperation with our new security procedures.
  
  We remind you that IDs for drivers and nannies are personal and untransferable. When a family driver or nanny is no longer employed, please make sure the ID is returned. All new family employees must apply for a school ID.
  
  We also request parents to roll down their car windows if they drive to the drop-off area at school in dark-tinted window vehicles. This will facilitate our security guards to recognize the persons inside the vehicle.
