Rain Is Coming: Have a Drop-Off Plan Rain means more cars, but the loop doesn't get any longer. Let's get our routine down now! Kids ready to go: backpacks on and ready to open the door. Drivers stay in the car: let Safety Patrol help with doors and little ones who need a hand — they're ready to lead!

A smooth drop-off now = a much easier rainy morning later.
