Crosby Family: Today was an amazing day to be a Longhorn! Your students were showered with love and the teacher's hearts were full. Thank you all for your patience as we continue working through some adjustments with arrival and dismissal. Please remember, walkers will not be dismissed until after the car line has ended. This is to help ensure the safety of our students and keep them off of roads that are extremely busy at that time. Also, we are happy to open doors and help load students into cars. In order to continue the flow of traffic and reduce wait time significantly, we are unable to hold the line for the time it takes to buckle students into car seats. Please pull forward (out of the parking lot) and park on the side of the road in order to get out and buckle your student. Finally, please be courteous to our neighbors and avoid parking/stopping in front of driveways. This is also important for parents that park and wait for their students that walk home. Thank you, again. We are excited to see you all tomorrow and thank you for allowing us to serve you and your students!
