Carpool Pickup
Our Smithfield Church Road neighbors need our help to keep their driveways clear for visitors and employees. Please be aware that Quail Hollow Presbyterian Church and Southminster Retirement Community should not be used as additional carpool drop off/pick up locations. Thank you for your cooperation in following the school carpool procedure to drive all the way through the carpool line that begins by entering the second entrance (just past the school), following down the parking lot and back around the parking lot to the front of the school.
