   1. Parking lot concern. Parents at pick-up are having children walk through the parking lot and go to the car instead of getting out. Discussed parents who park in the parking lot park in areas that are not designated as parking spots during pick up. This creates an unsafe parking area (suggestion of putting a cone there or something to prevent people from parking there). Principal Ashbridge suggested putting a cone out and reach out to the district to paint the areas so it is clearer indicating that people should not park there.  Additional communication to parents with mapping via Parent Square and student council can do a video for the kids so that it is modeled was discussed.
   2. Remove right turn only sign at pick-up drop-off exiting.
   3. Discussed the practice of identifying parents or designated persons to check out students. Show ID.
