Panther Family News: Drop-Off & Pick-Up Update!

September 6, 2023 - Issue 5

Take time out...

...you are going to need it. Before you even look at this email, you need to sit down and relax. We have a lot to tell you this week, especially Mr. Taylor, who thoughtfully explains changes to drop-off and pick-up, as the growing sewer replacement work on Poplar continues towards EC. This is extremely important information, which will keep our students and everyone else safe.

Have a great evening and enjoy reading the rest of the news from the corner of Poplar & Gulf!

Stay cool!
