Weekly Update: October 19, 2025

Hello Lochside families!

Here are a few updates and reminders as we move through October:

1) Drop-Off Safety Reminder Please help keep our students safe during morning drop-off.

• Respect the drop-off lane — it’s for continuous movement only.

• Do not stop or wait in the lane.

• Avoid creeping your vehicle’s back end onto Royal Oak Drive.

• Give yourself a few extra minutes to park on a nearby side street and walk your child to school.
