Elementary Parent-student drop off
We are asking that all students for Maxine Johnson Elementary be dropped off on the East side of the building in front of the multipurpose room entrance. The multipurpose room doors will be the only ones open in the morning. These doors are monitored and we will have employees that are on crosswalk duty to ensure safety.
Middle School East Wing Drop Off
We have a new parent drop off and pick up for the East Wing at the middle school. This was done for safety. Students will not have to cross in front of and in-between busses. Please see the picture above.
Parents/guardians or older siblings, please enter the old tennis courts from McConnell on the east side and Exit on the West side.
There is a walking path on the west side for walkers coming from the West to go around so thy are not crossing in front of the parent drop-off.
