Pick Up Reminders at Mitchell

Good afternoon,
This afternoon parents approached me to share that some Mitchell parents are not using the designated parking spaces in the Scarlett parking lot (in the back of Mitchell School).  This is a reminder that parents must park in parking spaces at Mitchell and Scarlett.
Thank you.
