JSPO and Kiss and Drop Reminders: We appreciate the dedication of both our student and parent JSPO volunteers who coordinate Lamping’s Kiss and Drop Zone each morning. We ask our community to follow the expectations established for drop-off and pick up. Please refer to the attached page of this newsletter for detailed information. The Kiss and Drop Zone is a service provided to our community to increase the safety of our students and minimize traffic congestion around our school during drop of times. Using the Kiss and Drop Zone is optional, and parents have the option of parking on the street and walking their child to their morning line-up dot. We appreciate your assistance in promoting courtesy, respect and appreciation to our Kiss and Drop Zone volunteers.
