Car Decal

We have a new car decal design now available for all families! Stop by the front office to pick up your car sticker decal but make sure to follow these instructions before you adhere.

  1. Locate a spot to place outside the back or side window.
  2. Clean the surface with alcohol, then dry the area.
  3. Slowly adhere the sticker with the help of soap and water (spray bottle or damp towel) to prevent air bubbles.
  4. Use a ruler or other tool with a sharp edge to push the sticker down evenly.
  5. Do not remove or peel off to move around, this type of decal is meant to stick only once.
