Parking at the Mini Mall next to Scarlett
We wanted to share information from the mini mall next door in case your child is attempting to park there during the school day. Here is a message from the company: “We have moved ahead with parking enforcement at the Canyon Meadows Shopping Center. Vibe Parking will be managing the parking lot starting February 1, 2025. They will be ticketing and towing unregistered vehicles parked in the lot for over two hours.”
Please note there is some free parking available on the other side of Elbow Drive. We have limited parking left at our own school at this time of year. Please come to the main office to talk to Mr. Gibbs if you would like to try to purchase a parking pass at the school.
