NOTICE: In our continuing efforts to provide a safe environment
for our children, please be mindful of the traffic pattern on
the streets surrounding the Jefferson School. Wagner Avenue is
now "one way" from Mt. Pleasant Avenue towards Chestnut Street.
Pine Street is now "one way" from Chestnut Street to Mt.
Pleasant Avenue. With everyone's cooperation, these directions
should improve the drop-off and pick-up of children. |
