Parenting Classes
Emmaus Center is offering a parenting class beginning Wednesday,  October 17 to November 14.

PARKING LOT – PLEASE READ – VERY IMPORTANT

 SEPTEMBER  19 we had an accident in the back parking lot in which someone crushed in the back of a car causing  substantial damage.  The car belonged to a young lady who comes here on Wednesdays to aide in the classroom.   It is very sad to think whoever hit her could not left a note or contact the office.   We watched the surveillance tapes and while we could not see which car it was the most disturbing think was watching the children come out that back gate in a huge rush, running and not watching to run out into the dark parking lot.  It is a miracle that we have not had a child hit and seriously injured or killed.     We are taking the following steps to try and help this.  We are counting on all of YOU to help keep these children safe.

PARKING LOTS
Parking Lot directly behind the church -   Please use this lot if you have a child in the Early Childhood center.   You must park and go inside to pick up your child.
 
Parking Lot next to the church off of Laurent -  Please use this lot if you have a student in Unit One or Unit Two .  These students will be dismissed from the classroom but please watch for them coming out.
 
Parking Lot by the Cathedral Center -  Please use this lot if you have students in Unit Three or Unit Four,  A.V. Room. Music Room or Library.
This group usually lines up and picks up students from the curb.
 
If you would be able to help with dismissal pickups please call the office.  This is especially needed in the back parking lot, where a parent or other adult can stand by the sidewalk and make sure children are not running in front of a car.     As the nights get dark earlier we are going to need to be very careful that a small child is not struck.   We will have a greater police patrol here on Wednesday night.  Thank you for your cooperation.

Students in the Early Childhood Center MUST be picked up at their door by an adult.
