Back Carpool PICK UP ONLY Changes: Dear Saint Mary’s Families,
Thank you so much for your support and patience yesterday during our new carpool procedure. The last car was out of the parking lot at 2:59 and everything went very smoothly for the first day. We are hoping for the same outcome today. Since we don’t have after school activities today, we will have more vehicles lining up. Your continued patience is greatly appreciated. Monday at our faculty meeting, we will share the feedback we have received and discuss any changes that should be made. Until we implement any necessary changes, we will continue to do exactly what we did yesterday.
Thank you again,
Cheryl
