THE GARAGE: We are very lucky at Roycemore, and especially in Lower School to have a garage to pull into and bring in the children out of the elements. Therefore we ask you to follow a few simple rules so the garage can work for everyone. In Lower School, we welcome parents to bring their children into the building at drop-off and to pick them up in their classrooms at the end of the day. We ask that you think of the other parents and do not double park or park in spaces that are not identified as parking spaces. People, except on the first day, do not stay long, so please go around the garage until a space opens. On the first day, you might want to park on the street if the garage is full.
There will be a teacher at the yellow double doors to take your children out of the car, if you do not wish to come in. If all the spaces are full, and you do not want to wait, please exit the garage and park on the street.
At pick-up please park in the garage and come into the building. Again if there is not a space, please go around until one opens up. This usually is no more than five minutes. If you double park, the garage becomes clogged and everyone has difficulty. Thank you in advance for being considerate of everyone.
AFTER SCHOOL ENRICHMENT: Our After-School Enrichment activities for students in Kindergarten through Grade 4 will begin September 12. A flyer will be sent to you to tell you all of the exciting opportunities we will be having for your children. The times for the enrichment will be 3:15-4:00/4:15 every day except Thursday when they will be at 3:00-4:00

There are many other allergies, specific to individual children, so please check with your classroom teacher before sending in treats. Thank you in advance for caring about all of our children.
