Parking Lot and Safety Procedures
We have been having some issues with drop off and pick-ups. Parents, if you are waiting to drop off or pick up your student in the drop off/pick up line please remain in your vehicles. Drop off lane is not to be utilized for parents to exit their vehicle. If you must park in the morning, please use the main parking lot. Thank you!
The maximum speed limit on campus is 5 miles an hour. Please drive slow and attentive. Also, remember that we have a lane that is for quick drop off
Also, if you park in the back parking lot to pick up a kiddo for parks and recreation or pre-k please park properly and avoid the handicap parking and no parking lanes. We have witnessed vehicles parked improperly and have been receiving phone calls about it. Thank you for understanding and working with our parking procedures!
