Office Information
Car Line Help Needed
Everyone understands that dropping off and picking up students from school can be a headache. But it is always safer and more efficient when everyone follows the established procedure. This means that all cars utilize the double lane on the north side of our parking lot and then merge into one on the west end before pulling up along the curb by the school. It also means everyone pulling up as far as possible so that many vehicles can load or unload at once. Everyone's help in this process is appreciated!
