For the safety of students please do not drop off before 8:20 AM.  Separate lanes will be set up for K-2 and 3-5. Please follow the posted signs.

Student Pick Up: 3:15 PM

This is a completely different traffic pattern than drop-off. All traffic will go down Swires Road and enter through the far end of the parking lot.  Lanes and signage will be set up to route cars through the parking lot in order to avoid blocking access to busses. Please refer to the diagram at the bottom of this document for the traffic pattern. Please do not get out of your car. Students will be brought to you.

The parking lot will be closed to all traffic except student drop-off traffic starting at 2:45. Parking will not be allowed until 3:45.  The school office will be closed from 2:45 until 3:45.
