This is a school safety update. In an effort to increase student safety and to work within state requirements for educational facilities, we would like to remind everyone of our drop off and pick up protocols. The front drop-off zone is designed for intake throughout the morning. When dropping off students, please turn to the right as you enter the parking lot and join the drop-off line. Parking in the parking spots to drop off your student and/or driving through the parking lot lanes instead of the car line causes safety concerns and significantly slows the intake process. As we work to maintain a safe and efficient process aligned to state requirements, we do not allow for drop off to occur in the parking lot. An additional drop off location is a second car line at the back of the campus across from the post office. For our back gate only, please be mindful that gate is shut and locked at 7:40 so staff can get to class and monitor their students. For more information on our take-in and dismissal procedures, please visit our webpage!
