Weekly Eblast -- 4/7/23

Horizon Honors Key Club will be collecting NEW, with tags PJ's for the Banner Children's hospital! Please consider helping us out! A collection box will be in the Media Center April 1st - 28th.

The city of Phoenix is completing a major sewer project. The project impacts 48th Street in both directions from Frye Road to the area in front of St. John Bosco Catholic School. We expect the project to not be completed until close to the end of the school year. Due to the project, we have made changes to our Traffic Flow Plan. Please take time to review the maps.

TRAFFIC FLOW CHANGES

Until further notice:

• Avoid using 48th Street.
• Do not use the St. Benedict's Parking Lot (north of campus) for pickup, drop-off, or parking.
• Plan on coming early in the morning for drop off and on time in the afternoon for pick-up (NOT EARLY.)
• All Secondary students will be picked up at Mountain Park Church.
• Obey traffic laws as well as police officers and staff directing traffic.
• Be a respectful, patient, and cautious driver.

We appreciate your cooperation.

Due to recent events we wanted to provide some resources on behalf of the Arizona School Counselors Association for you to use with your family as the need arises.
