Student Drop Off/Pick Up
Please drop off students  immediately upon entering the circle near the side door. Doing so will keep the traffic moving at a steady pace. Also, do not stop and discharge students along the driveway entrance. Stopping causes other cars to attempt to pass your stopped car which may result in an accident or a student being hit by a car.
