Drop Off and Pick Up Safety
As a quick safety reminder, please make sure to follow all posted signs as you drive through and out of parent pick-up.
If you are parking and walking to pick up your student, we ask that you utilize the crosswalks. We have crossing guards to make sure you and your student can cross safely.
To have a better flow of traffic between the East and West sides:
Parents on the West Side must turn right to exit the pick-up line.
Parents on the East Side must turn left to exit the pick-up line.

This update must be completed annually.
