Parents, stay connected with Gradespeed Access. Parents, be advised. Many students are crossing Business 281/Closner after school to buy snacks. This street is a dangerous 35 mph school zone. Please talk to your children and advise them that there is a safe crosswalk at the corner of Rogers and 281 which they should use when crossing the street.
