Drop Off & Pick Up
Children are not allowed in the staff parking area, which is located on the north and west sides of the school. Students who walk to school are encouraged to use the designated crosswalks and sidewalks. They should also follow the directions of the crossing guard. The only authorized drop-off area is located in the west parking lot, next to the curb. Drivers must remain in their vehicles in this drop-off area. If a driver needs to enter the building, they should park in a designated parking space and walk their student inside.
