Thank you for your patience today! The work crew on Pine St. had to address a safety concern, but Pine will be open for thru-traffic at dismissal. Today, please use our normal dismissal procedure (Pine & 19th car lines) and tomorrow we will begin the new procedure (Pine & Olive lines, attached).


Join us in celebrating the Chinese Moon Festival tomorrow by wearing RED!


Good morning, SLLIS! Pine is unexpectedly closed this morning. For arrival: DO NOT use the Olive/19th lane. ONLY use the Pine lane. Approach SLLIS from the west on Pine to drop off. Then, turn right on 19th and exit on Olive. Traffic must flow one way in this direction. Thank you!

Thanks to our incredibly dedicated staff and the patience of our families, we finished dismissing parent pick-up students in under 25 minutes today! We are so grateful for our community's flexibility during the difficulty of national bus shortages and beginning the year with more students than we have yet had at the Pine Street campus.

SLLIS Families: there have been some changes to visitor parking at SLLIS that we want to make sure you're aware of. This is especially important if your preference is to park and walk up to pick up your student at dismissal. Please review the attached letter for details: https://5il.co/yck2. Thank you!
