Drop-Off and Pick-Up

When driving a child to school, please use the far parking lot drop-off/pick-up point.  A staff member will be present.  Please pull forward along the sidewalk to allow for others behind you to pull up as well. Students need to exit/enter cars on the curb side.  Parents are also allowed to park in this lot and walk their child to the sidewalk. Parents must walk with their child through the parking lot if they choose to park their car. The main parking lot bus drop-off lane remains reserved for the buses.
