PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE

Dear Marin Families,


During Spring Break, there will be some repaving work being done on Marin Ave and the adjacent streets. While contractors were trying to get all of the work done during our break, they will not be done until Wednesday, April 15. They have graciously agreed to limit work time to 9:00-3:00 to avoid the busiest drop off and pick up times, but you should still expect disruptions to the flow of traffic. Unfortunately, they will not be able to stop working at 1:30 for TK/K dismissal. As always, we appreciate your patience and following all traffic and safety rules.  


Wishing you and your family a wonderful Spring Break!

Melisa Pfohl, Principal
