Morning dropoff and afternoon pickup reminders
After a week of this year's new dropoff system, we've noticed ways it can be improved. Please follow the these recommendations:
- When dropping off your daughter/carpool in the morning, please do not pull into open parking stalls. Stay in the drop-off lane and pull forward to the drop-off zone.
- If the drop-off line is backed-up beyond the drop-off zone, students are welcome to exit your stopped vehicle. Please check your surroundings to ensure your student(s) can safely exit.
- After 2:00 p.m., all visitors parking stalls, and empty parking stalls are open to parents/guardians who are picking up their students.
