🚗 GBR Parking Reminder 🚗
As we start a new school year, please remember that there is NO PARKING on the north side of GBR (the bus lane/Rec Center lot) during dismissal. This expectation helps keep our students safe.
Our students are learning what it means to Be Safe, Be Responsible, and Be Respectful, and we appreciate our families helping us model those same expectations! 💛
Thank you for doing your part to keep GBR safe!
