After speaking with JRR parents and our crossing guards, we have decided to return to our dismissal procedures used last year. Effective Tuesday, September 8, 2009 when the bell rings at 3:25 p.m. for dismissal, our walkers, car/van riders, and daycare riders will be dismissed first, followed by bus riders.
We apologize for any inconveniences, but have made this decision in the best interest of student safety. If you have questions, please call the school at 301-449-4980.
