New Walker Path option

In partnership with Clairmont Presbyterian Church, we are now able to provide an alternate walking path for morning and afternoon walkers. Enter at the staircase, located at the corner of Clairmont and North Druid Hills road, onto the church property. Follow the signs to the side gate, which will lead to the main walker entrance. Parents must continue to walk their children all the way to and from the walker door.

Facilities and Safety Survey

Thank you to everyone who completed the survey. The updated FAQ document with answers can be viewed here.

From a facilities and safety standpoint, we'd love to hear any questions, feedback, or concerns you may have. Our goal is to compile this information into an FAQ document that highlights both the updates already completed and the plans moving forward, as we continue working to make the Lower Campus the best possible environment for our students and staff. Please submit feedback using this form.
