The School Day
Drop off and Entering School Procedures
Parents will drop their student/s off at the bus loop entrance. They will turn into the bus loop and pull forward past the orange cones and/or buses. We will have staff guiding you. Students will also be dropped off by busses at the entrance or top of the bus loop. At this point, the lower parking lot will not be available to students before or after school. You will be directed to the bus loop area. Students will walk to the hall of their CREW.
Pick up and Exiting
Students who walk or get a ride from parents will be released first and they will exit the building from the hall of their last hour. We will then release students by bus number as the busses arrive.
