We need your help. I have safety concerns for our students during morning drop off.
There should be no parking in the loop. You are welcome to park in the visitor's parking lot and walk your students.
There should be no driving around cars in the loop, unless directed by a traffic monitor. This is extremely unsafe, and I have already witnessed several close calls.
We love our families and students at Herrera and will do everything possible to keep everyone safe. We kindly ask that you help us with this.
Thank you!
Ms. Villasenor
Thank you for your dedication and the countless ways you support our students, staff, and community each day. 📚🏫❤️
