Parking Lot & Driveway
Thank you so much for helping us as we are making changes in our parking lot and driveway. It is our primary goal to keep all of our students safe as they are arriving and departing school which is why you will continue to see small changes.
One tip, when dropping your students in the back of the school, students should remain in the car until 7:15 when staff are on duty to greet them and ensure that they enter the school safely.
Please note the change coming soon:
In the next month our front parking lot will have one entrance blocked during our peak times. At that time, all cars will enter and exit our lot off Dooley which will help speed up the car line. If you are driving a car to our campus, it is an expectation that you use this car line for arrival and drop off. This is the safest route to ensure that your students are safe.
If you have questions about the upcoming changes please call the front office and we will be happy to talk with you.
