Morning Drop-Off Reminders

For the safety of our students, here are a few reminders for those dropping off students in the morning:


  • Front door is for entrance of carpool drop off only.
  • Walkers are to enter thru the back of the building via the sidewalks. No walking on the grass.
  • No children are to be dropped off on the streets surrounding the school.
  • Please do not drop off early. Staff is present to supervise when doors are open. We are excited to greet them at that time.
  • Stay in between the cones, be patient, and wait for the car in front of you to exit.
  • Pull up to the beginning of the carpool line to drop off
