BE RESPECTFUL TO OUR NEIGHBORS
It has come to our attention there have been some problems in our surrounding neighborhoods during after school pick-up. Students have been crossing the street illegally in some areas and leaving trash or trampling landscaping near homes. We have also had reports of parents violating traffic or parking laws when picking up their kids. Please remember to be courteous and respectful to the neighbors near Niguel Hills! Thank you for your cooperation on this matter.
