Arrival and Dismissal:
For parent pick up and drop off, we ask that parents remain in cars and follow the “loop” to drop students off or pick them up directly in front of Door #10. Please refrain from parking in designated staff parking spots.
As an alternative, parents can park in a designated parking spot and walk their child up to the door or pick them up from Door #10.
Important visitor policy:
If you have supplies or items to drop off, please label them clearly with your child’s name and teacher name and put them on the table in the vestibule inside Door #1.Then, ring the doorbell to let the office staff know you have dropped something off. Please refrain from parking in designated staff parking spots.
