Please remember to not park on First Avenue when picking up your student. This street is very tight and does not leave much room for our students to walk down First Avenue. Thank you.

Parents and Guardians,

If you are picking up a walker please do not use the back parking lot. We use the back parking lot for buses.

Thank you for your help in this matter.

The student day ends at 3:50 p.m. Students will not be dismissed from the main office between 3:15 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. We are considered a “Closed Campus” during this time. Please schedule appointments before and after these times. Your cooperation is appreciated as we work together to create a safe environment for all.

Parents,

Please make sure you are keeping the left side of the carline circle open until 3:15 pm. This lane will only be used for early dismissals and deliveries. If you park in that lane before 3:15 pm you will be asked to move. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
