Please remember to wait in line at the stop sign when trying to enter the JWMS parking lot. In addition, no cars may cross the double yellow lines because of oncoming traffic. The School Board Office Crosswalk may require cars to stop in the car line to allow pedestrians to cross. Once you enter the JWMS parking lot, please follow all arrows. The drop off zone is the entire length of our canopy, so please make sure you pull ahead to keep traffic moving. Staff and students who are entering JWMS from the parking lot must use the crosswalk.

We are doing our very best to keep everyone safe everyday!
