PICK UP AND DROP OFF
If you pick up or drop off your student at school, please be aware that you MAY NOT drop off or pick up by the gym lobby. That area is reserved for buses only.

In an effort to keep our school safe, any visitor to our school needs to show photo I.D. when entering the building. Please be aware of this security measure. Also, once school begins for the day, all doors entering our building are locked with the exception of the main door (the entrance facing the Convenient Mart across the street). That is the door you must use to enter our building.
