Important Safety Information
VERY IMPORTANT:
BAAY is in a busy location and it's DANGEROUS to drop off students across the street. DO NOT LET PEOPLE CROSS THE STREET. We suggest that you drop off and pick up at the alleyway behind BAAY. Regardless, ALWAYS drop off and pick up on the BAAY side of the street! If people must cross the street, absolutely do use the crosswalk. Cars come around the corner of Maple street very quickly and I fear we will have an accident. Please, please take heed. Thanks, David Post
