First Day of School Drop-Off
In order to mitigate visitors on campus, parents will only be allowed to drop off children by using the outer loop in front of the school. This is the loop that runs under the portico—also known as the “kiss-and-go” lane. Stopping, standing, or parking in this lane is prohibited. Golf carts should be parked on the grassy area in front of the school, not across the street. We have no car parking available.
Tropical Storm 13
We are currently monitoring Tropical Storm 13, which may impact weather conditions in South Florida early next week. It is still our intent to open on Monday, August 24, 2020. Should our planned opening be delayed due to weather, we will reach out to you over the weekend. In addition, you can check our website: www.FIDS.org. If you do not hear from us, it means business as usual.
