Morning:
The bus lane in front of the school has signs letting everyone know when that lane is only for buses. Our safest way to drop your child off in the morning is in the back of the school at door #4. Please follow the signs and arrows. Supervision for students at Door #4 begins at 8:30AM.
Afternoon:
"Parent Pick Up" is at door #4 and is for car pick up only. "Crosswalk" is our parent/walker meeting area and is for parents desiring to meet their child on foot.

Students will need to have funds in their meal accounts to purchase any additional items.
