To ensure the safety of our students and employees, vehicles are no longer permitted to drive past the front of the PAES while the school buses are either parked or unloading students (8:20-8:50). All PAES traffic must use the Beyer Avenue entrance to enter and exit the campus during this period of time. Thank you for your cooperation with this matter.-Dr. Weber & Dr. Guidice
