Folwell families: A reminder about the detour for the first day of school tomorrow! Due to construction on 2nd Street, there will be increased traffic flow to 6th Street, one of the most common routes to Folwell. But there's a better way! Check out our advised route for the Load & Go line at bit.ly/folwellroute. (Approaching from the south is the key!)
