Safety for All at Delaney Morning Drop Off!



We are working really hard on the morning drop off procedures, and need everyone’s cooperation.  The safety of our students, staff and visitors is of primary importance.  We need to follow several procedures to keep it safe:

      Cones are placed along the sidewalk at both the Delaney and Annex ends of the building. Please pull up to the cones to let your children out and then proceed with caution back into the driving lane. Do not let children out at any other location unless you are parking.






Please make sure your children have all the clothing needed for the playground. They need boots when there is snow or mud. They need snow-pants when there is snow on the ground. 
Mittens and hats are necessary in the cold weather! 



Monday February 15- Friday February 19





Thank you for reading and viewing.
