Drop-Off
Just a few reminders about dropping off in the morning: The busy time is 7:25–7:45 am. If your family can, please consider dropping off between 7:00 and 7:25 am. The morning circle is a lot less congested, and your student will have ample time to get to their first hour by 7:45 am.
Thank you for following all traffic signs and laws, using your cell phone hands-free, using turn signals, turning right at the stop sign starting at 7:25 am, and pulling all the way forward at the parent circle. Check out the video linked here for more information.
