2. Walk Away
3. Tell an Adult
 
Traffic Safety
We'd like to remind the community that MPE has a staff member assisting all our students during the drop off time with valet service. This is to help the flow of traffic and safety of our students. We will have a staff member from 7:45 a.m. to 8:10 a.m. to help open the door and help your child exit the vehicle. There is no parking at Saybrook Park at any time for school business. Remember to always use the curbside to pick up and drop off at all times of the school day. If you have any questions please contact the Principal at (323) 721-3305.
