IMPORTANT REMINDER FOR PARENTS
Please remember that ONLY buses load and unload students directly in front of the school.
Therefore, the front of the school is closed off to visitors/parents starting at 8:35 am to 9:00 am and from 3:50 pm to 4:35 pm to allow buses to line up. Please do not drop off /pick up your student in front of the school during these times and use the student drop-off area on the football side. This is for the safety of students and visitors.
**STUDENT DROP-OFF IS IN THE PARKING LOT ACROSS FROM THE FOOTBALL FIELD. It is not on the water tower side by the C wing entry. Please do not drop off your student here.**
Parents/visitors needing to come inside the campus during that time will need to park in the west parking lot of the school (near the football field) and walk around to the front as all visitors still need to check-in at the front office.
*If you are leaving the school during the time the buses are in front, buses are given priority and all other vehicles are to wait until buses have exited the lot. *It is unlawful to pass a school bus that either has red blinking lights and/or its STOP sign out. To do so puts students in harm's way.
*If you need to leave the campus between the hours the buses are out front, we strongly recommend you park in the Faculty parking lot on the southwest to avoid having to wait for buses when you need to leave.
When exiting our campus before and after school from the football field, please turn RIGHT only. Some cars continue to turn left and it is delaying the flow of traffic tremendously.
Thank you!
