Important Reminders from Administration
Parking
Help keep our students and neighbors safe by driving carefully and obeying traffic/parking laws.
- Students are encouraged to carpool as there is limited parking available.
- Parking on the street is monitored by FAPD and you may be ticketed or towed if parked illegally.
- Please be extra cautious about blocking fire hydrants or parking too close to the entrance/exits.
- No student may park on campus without a school parking permit.
- Please note that MUV Fitness may tow if you do not have a parking permit for their property.
School Safety and Policies
Students, staff and parents need to all work together to make our campus as safe as possible.
- Students may only use the designated doors during the morning entry.
- After 8 am, students may only use the front entrance at the main office.
- Parents/visitors should always enter through the main office only.
- Propping any door or opening any unauthorized entry for anyone else is a disciplinary offense that will have consequences that will include suspension and could include a referral to the Hearing Board.
- Students are asked to be in class on time, with their school ID properly displayed and their cell phone in the designated location.
- Cell phones are not to be used during class time, even in the hallways or restrooms.
Thank you for helping as we follow these policies.
