Drop-off and Pick-up
As always, if you have many students to pick up or drop off, we recommend using the area for the youngest student to pick up all of your students.
Parents/guardians may escort students to classrooms but may not enter classrooms, may not congregate, and may not be in the hallways or interior of campus for more than 15 minutes for the purposes of pick-up or drop-off. While on campus grounds individuals must follow all current safety requirements including the use of face coverings when required
Please be aware that there construction taking place on Mills that may slow the process down. So please practice patience, observing all traffic laws, for our students' safety.
Please see the drop and pick up zone map attached below.
