Parent Pick Up
Parents…you must pick up your student from the Woodlawn parking lot. I do not want our students going through the bus lot and into the Country Meadows parking lot to be picked up. Also, middle school students are not allowed on the playground at Country Meadows during their school hours. Thank you for your understanding.
