- ELM ST. & MEADOWBROOK: remember- the RIGHT side of both streets is for DROP OFF ONLY in the mornings. If you need to park for any reason, lease park on the LEFT side of the street and use the crosswalk. If your child requires help exiting the vehicle, we suggest dropping off at the front of the school where attendants are there to assist. Thanks for your help in making our mornings run smoothly!

VOLUNTEER TO HELP IN CLASSROOMS: From time to time, teachers have meetings during the day which pulls them from the classroom. We rely on parent volunteers to help in the classrooms during these times! If you are interesting in helping, email Lauren Baugh at laurenmcbaugh@gmail.com RAPTOR: The Mountain Brook School System has a new check in procedure that requires you to check in with your driver's license. Anytime you come to the school (lunch, mystery reader, volunteer work, etc.), you must have your license with you! Please help us keep our kids safe. CRESTLINE LIBRARY: The Crestline Library relies on parent volunteers to help shelve books that are checked in each week. Volunteering in the library is a flexible commitment and is an easy way to get involved. The librarians are so appreciative of the support that comes from the volunteers!
