School Supply Lists for the 22-23 School Year
Drop-Off and Pick-Up Reminders
1) The drop-off zone on Manila is meant for a quick drop. Students should be ready to exit your vehicle as soon as you pull up to the curb. If your child needs additional time, please pull to a side street to park and walk your child to school property.
2) Please use your turn signals to help other drivers and students know your plans as you are driving.
3) Students should exit the vehicle on the sidewalk side of the vehicle.
4) Adults should NOT exit the vehicle during drop-off.
Before School
We also ask that students not cut through the parking lot on the front of the building, but instead cross at the crosswalks. Students cannot be seen cutting through the cars and we don't want a child to get hit.
