Parking -  Be sure to be cautious about parking on the street. From our neighbor - "I live on the corner of Harvey and Scales on the same side of the street as Underwood.  Your teachers and parents park by our house daily.  This is fine except for when they block our driveway".

Drop-off and Pick up - For our students safety be sure to follow carpool procedures in the carpool lane. We have seen an increase in the number of students being dropped off on Scales street as well as the left side of the parking lot. Thank you for your support in keeping our students safe.
