Parking/Dropoff Reminders

  • The visitor parking spaces are not intended as morning drop-off spaces as students should be dropped off in or near the Dominican Hall traffic circle.
  • Remember that the non-visitor parking spaces along Foster Street and in the school lots are assigned to teachers and students during the school day.
  • If you need to park before or during the school day, please use the assigned visitor parking spaces instead of parking in an assigned spot. 
Back to Regular Uniforms

Because the students will have a variety of casual dress days next week, we have decided to make the switch to regular uniforms on October 11 this year. Boys will be wearing ties this year.
