Drop-off Procedures A.M.: For drop-off in the A.M., please circle the east parking lot and enter the car drop-off lane in front of the school. Our buses are having difficult pulling in to drop off students due to traffic and patrons trying to cut in front of the buses and exit out the east exit. Mr. Gray

Good afternoon! I just wanted you to have a heads up regarding pick up this evening. To protect our students, buses, and parent's vehicles we are making some modifications. 6th grade parents will still pickup in the front. We need you to please circle the east parking lot to line up behind the buses. You will not be able to turn left. 7th and 8th car riders we will still bring your students to the parking lot. Your only change is you must drive in front of the school and use the west exit. The east exit will now become an entrance only during school hours. We will have an officer assist us the next couple of days to help us acclimate. Thanks you!! Mr. Gray
