In the morning if you are dropping off your child in the elementary, please drop them off on "G" Street. The end door will be open for students to enter. If you are taking your child to the middle/high school building, you may drive around through campus and drop them off at the front door of that school. For pick-up after school, please park in a single file row on "G" Street in the same area. Staff will bring students out and make eye contact with you before sending students. If you are walking with your child, you may wait on the sidewalk on "G" Street as well. If families are riding bikes, etc., we ask that families walk the bikes until off of campus. We are trying to make our campus as safe as possible. Please avoid making U-turns on campus. If you drive on campus, please drive the full loop. We appreciate your cooperation in this matter.
