adhere to the parking signs in front of Nativity School that state "NO PARKING 7-9 AM" on Laurel Street.

Let's make sure we are good neighbors and make sure it is safe for all children to get to
school.

with your family name and child’s grade(s) should be placed on the

placards to have your child(ren) ready for pick up in the designated
horseshoe area.
If you are going to park and get out of your car to pick up your child
after
school, use the left hand lane to turn into the parking lot. Please do not leave your car unattended in
the right hand lane of the horseshoe. |
