After breakfast, 3rd and 5th graders will stay in the cafeteria, while 2nd and 4th graders will head to the gym to wait for their teacher. Please note that parents will not be able to walk their child into Zavala. Tonight, locate your CarRider Pro tags and talk with your student about how they will be picked up.
