Please note the website states “Menu subject to change” and occasionally, this may be the case. Starting next week the menu selections will be back on track.

We have seen great improvement in our drop-off and pick-up procedures! Thank you for partnering with us and adhering to the two feet of distance between cars. It helps us load and unload more students per cycle and keeps Gateway Blvd. clear! As we all get more familiar with the system, we anticipate a speedier morning and afternoon process.
Please remember the following:
-have your scholars ready to get out of the car with their mask and backpack on in the morning
-do not get out of your vehicle to help your scholar (we promise we will get them out safely)
-follow the wave times
Drop-off
7:25 am for last names A-M
7:35 am for last names N-Z
Pick-up
3:25 pm for last names A-M
3:40 pm for last names N-Z
-We will ask you to pull up into a parking space on the left during a reset if your scholar is taking an inordinate amount of time to get out of the vehicle
-If you are picking your child up early, please come before 2:45 PM on a regular day and 12:45 PM on a half day. Please remember, there is no parking and pick-up your student.

There will be no campus-based or distance learning instruction during Fall Break. Enjoy a week of relaxation and come prepared for Quarter 2 on October 26th! |
