If we have parents pulling into the parking lot, it could be that they have students in the clinic or the school contacted the parent for some other reason. Please do not assume they are attempting to violate procedure. We do not want assumptions to be the reason that YOU violate procedures. If we do have parents that do not follow school related requests, then they we be addressed by school staff. We appreciate you all for acknowledging all communication sent out and making a point to adhere! This only works if we all stick to the plan! Your cooperation is greatly appreciated! - Ms. Peterson
