The Jayhawk Elementary car line will be open at 7:30 a.m. tomorrow morning for students who arrive in a personal vehicle. If you are new to USD 346, please make sure you drive to the far south side of our campus in the single file lane. The south side of the building will be on your right, and you will see a solid row of trees just to your left. It is important that you do not drop students off in our bus zone or staff parking lot. I will send a more detailed message to you later this week explaining the safety concerns that prompted us to use the car line for our drop off and dismissal times.
