Dear Parents/Guardians,Due to the safety of our students we will NO longer allow students to be picked up in the office at 3:15. Any student that is picked up at 3:15 or later will need to be picked up in the Red Tag rider lane. If you do not have a tag you may come in and fill one out in the front office. The front doors will be locked between 3:15PM and 3:45PM with no admittance from outside. This will help to ensure the safety of our students being dismissed to their busses. Thank you for making student safety a top priority at Owingsville Elementary.
