Important: Drop-Off & Pick Up Procedures
If you drop your students off at CPA in the morning before 7:55am, please drop them off at Door E on Jessamine Ave.
It may seem more convenient to drop children off on Magnolia, but we need to keep that street clear for buses until 7:55am. Thank you for your cooperation.
