Parking Information:

Valentine class parents please help with our parking issues. Our classes starting and ending times are staggered due to very limited parking space at Valentine Reserve. You can help alleviate our parking problems by:

  • Carpooling whenever possible
  • Parking efficiently by the street, leaving room for others to park
  • By not using the Valentine driveway. These parking spots are for staff only and backing out of the driveway is unsafe when children are present.

Thank you!
