Important Drop-Off Reminders
As we enter the third week of school, we wanted to provide an important reminder of our morning drop-off procedures. Drop off is from 8:00-8:15 a.m. Drop-off at the beginning of the school day will be at the north entrance of the Education Wing (around the back of the building). This is the only drop-off entrance; parking for any period of time is not allowed.
Students are not to be dropped off at the south (front) entrance. If there is a need to walk your student(s) into school, you must park in the south parking lot and enter through the south entrance. Parents or other authorized adults will be expected to sign in at the security desk and show a school-issued ID badge or other form of ID.
