Important Safety Reminder Important Safety Reminder

Morning Drop-off & Pick-up

Morning Drop-off: A drop-off lane has been established in front of the building. For the safety of students and staff, all students should exit on the passenger side of the car and onto the sidewalk. Parents must stay in their cars and exit the lane once their child gets out to avoid backing up traffic. Please make sure your child is on the passenger side and ready to exit the vehicle when you pull up. If another party is dropping off your child, please make sure they are aware of this important safety rule as well.


Afternoon Pick-up: Parents will park in the pick up lanes in front of the cafeteria or in the parking lot and walk down to retrieve their student. Students will NOT be permitted to walk into the upper parking lot without a guardian for safety reasons.

Lunchtime! Lunchtime!

Mrs. Ratka delivering lunches
This year, lunches will be eaten in classrooms with students at their own desk. Students can pack lunch from home or order lunch from the cafeteria. Teachers will ask their students after roll call which option they would like if they are buying lunch. Boxed lunches will then be delivered to classrooms during the regularly scheduled lunch period. Pictured above is Mrs. Ratka with the lunch cart. Below is the September lunch menu for orientation days, which can also be found on our website under Food Services. Students can also purchase grab-and-go breakfast from the cafeteria upon arrival to school.
