Use the Drop-off/Pick-up Zone
Parking and traffic can be an issue as we have 2,000 people entering and exiting two campuses at the same time from one street. We can create less backup by using the drop off area at all times.
Families should not pull into faculty or student parking spots when dropping off. Thanks in advance for your cooperation in using the drop-off area/pick-up zone and helping with traffic flow.

This year’s Advent Project is called Aware During Advent (ADA). Just as we prepare our hearts for Jesus to enter our lives during Advent, ADA will bring awareness to people with disabilities. We will be holding a schoolwide donation drive to support Las Trampas, an organization that supports adults with developmental disabilities by providing supported/independent living services, day programs, and other services.
