Drop-Off and Pick-Up

When driving a child to school, please use the 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. A staff member will indicate when it is appropriate and safe for your child to exit/enter the car. Students need to exit/enter cars on the curb side.  Families are also allowed to park in this lot if there is an open parking spot available.  Families must walk with their child through the parking lot and to the sidewalk if they choose to park their car. The main parking lot bus drop-off lane remains reserved for buses. All students will enter the school through Door 11.
