Parent Drop-off in Morning
Parents are not permitted to drop off students in the bus lanes or student parking lot behind the school for safety reasons. Our student drivers are parking and crossing the lot to enter the building. We need to minimize the traffic in this area. Please utilize the parent drop-off lane.
To expedite the process moving forward, we will allow drop-offs beginning as early as 6:20. Students that arrive prior to 6:40 should report to the Commons for supervision.
