Pick up and Drop Off Procedures

Parents: Please be reminded that there is no parking or drop-off in the Staff Parking Lot. Dismissal time is at 3:20 pm. (After 3:05 pm, there will be no calls for early release/early dismissal as afternoon procedures will be in place, and this causes a disruption). Repetitive early pick-ups cause students to miss valuable instructional time, affecting their grades.
