Gymnasium Doors will be open for students arrival at 8:25AM. Latchkey is available for students starting at 7:30AM and is also available after school until 5:30PM. Fees are $10 per day, per child. Cash or Checks made out to Steubenville City Schools are the only forms of payment for the Latchkey services. Balances should be paid on a weekly basis. Non-payment within 2 weeks will result in suspension of latchkey privileges. Thank you for your continued support!

Buses will be dropping off in front of the auditorium doors. They will have a designated spot to drop off. Anyone dropping off a child please pull to the gymnasium doors and do not exit your vehicle. Staff will be on the street to help your child get out of the vehicle. If you would like to get out of your vehicle park in a parking lot and walk your child to the doors. Do not park and exit your vehicle on the street. Steubenville City Schools will not be responsible for any damages to vehicles. Thank you for your cooperation on this matter. The safety of everyone is our top priority.
