PARKING LOT PROCEDURES
The north end of our parking lot, which used to be the entrance, is now for BUSES ONLY. Cars are not allowed to use this entrance.
All parent drop-off and pickup traffic will enter and exit through the south end of the parking lot. Cars will turn into the south entrance, drive past all the parking spaces, and loop around to drop off at the fence. Do not drop students off in the parking lot, as this will interrupt our traffic flow. If you prefer to walk your student to the student entrance doors (located behind the flag pole), please park and use the crosswalk. Once the student is dropped off, continue making the loop and exit at the south exit.
Please note: Exiting the parking lot will be right turn only from 7:30-8:15 and 2:45-3:15.
