We encourage you to utilize our car drop-off lane for arrival.  Parents/guardians may not enter the front foyer during drop off.  Parents/guardians will not be allowed to walk their children into the building.  We will have staff members stationed outside and throughout the building to assist with guiding students to class.

Dismissal Traffic Flow

Please bring your patience as we navigate our dismissal system.  We are a very large school, and the first couple of weeks take some time to ensure students are escorted to the correct dismissal area.
