Back To School Night
Helpful Hints from the Main Office
Attached please find some helpful hints for signing a student out early, dropping off items, visiting, and reporting absent/late students: http://bit.ly/2m7hG1m
Morning Drop Off
- Morning drop off begins at 7:00am at the 6th grade wing entrance. Students should wait with their parents until 7:00am. There is no supervision in the building prior to that time; therefore, students will not be permitted in the building until 7:00am.
- Due to the high volume of cars dropping off in the morning, parents are encouraged to drop their child off prior to 7:30am.
- Please note our one-way traffic pattern diagram. See attached map: http://bit.ly/2Pk1dFr
- Drop off is curbside only at the 6th grade wing entrance.
- Please maintain a speed of no more than 5 miles per hour when traveling in the parking lot, to ensure the safety of staff and students.
- Please also maintain a single line of traffic; please do not pass other vehicles as students and staff members may be walking through the parking lot.
Locker Set Up
Final day of Locker Set Up is tomorrow (Monday, September 9th) from 2:30pm-4:00pm. This is an optional event. All students attending Locker Set Up must go home at dismissal and then return at 2:30pm with a parent or guardian. Thank you!
