Pick-up Request
If you are picking up your student in a vehicle, we are requesting that you put your student's name and teacher on a piece of paper. Please put on your dash, so the staff doing pick-up duty can read it. With that said, it will need to be large enough for us to see. We think this would help with speeding up the process. Thank you for working with us to make things more efficient.
