Student Drop Procedures
These procedures are designed to ensure the safety of all our students as they arrive at school each morning. Please remember:
- Drop-off is in the front of the building (not the back or side).
- Drop-off is one lane against the curb for safety reasons. There is no second-lane drop-off in the mornings.
- Please pull forward past the front door to drop off your student, do not stop in the crosswalk.
- If you need to drop off items, please park in the parking lot. The parking lot is reserved for handicapped parking, and those needing to park.
- Students should walk bikes and skateboards across and should not ride them on the crosswalk or school sidewalks.
Your cooperation in these procedures will help us maintain a safe and efficient drop-off process.
