Starting this week Kindergarten students line up on blacktop in the mornings. Teachers will meet the class on the blacktop and take the class to the kinder classrooms. Parents/guardians will no longer be allowed to go past the kinder gate into the kinder courtyard. You may wait with your child however, until the teacher picks up the class.
