Principal's Message

Submitted by courtney.corbin on

Hello Taylor Tigers,Wow what a wonderful first week of school! I have loved all the smiles and we have had very little tears. I call that a great success!

If you are dropping off or picking up your students, PLEASE do not get out of your car in the drop off area. That is the area by our East Doors. If you need to get out of your car to pick up your child or come in the build, we ask that you park in one of the parking lots and walk in. This area gets very congested and it becomes a hazard. Thank you for understanding!
