We have some issues with people stopping on Thompson Drive to let their kids out. Remember Thompson Drive is not a drop off zone and this creates dangerous situations. Please pull into the loop or one of the parking lots across the street when dropping off students.
We are looking for any students who create and sell their own products to participate in a youth market right here at R.D. Parker. If you are a crafter, quilter, 3D-printer, shirt maker, or any other kind of merchandise creator, please see Mr. Paradis in the main office.
