Parking & Drive-Thru Loop Information
Everyone should TURN RIGHT ONLY out of both loops. No double parking to wait for a student to be picked up.
During morning drop-off drivers need to pull ALL THE WAY FORWARD. This especially impacts families trying to drop off students at the Kindergarten gate. Please do not stop at the Kinder gate if there is room to pull all the way forward. Additionally, please do not park before 3:00pm on the Kinder side as our TK and K parents need room to pull forward.
