For student drop off, please use the Wiedrick Road entrance and follow the flow of traffic (see yellow arrows on diagram).
Please make sure to use the designated crosswalks when approaching the building. Avoid walking across the parking lot aisles. This helps improve safety and visibility during the busy times at drop off and pickup.
For dismissal, the 2nd row in the parking lot is reserved for cars that are picking up students (see green oval on diagram). Please park and wait in one of the 2nd row spots when picking up your student at dismissal.
Please do NOT use the front bus loop*. This loop is designated for our bus use only. This is for your student's safety.
We greatly appreciate everyone following these procedures as they are meant to help make the parking lot safer.
*Use of the bus loop can occur with approval from our school nurse
