Parking Fundraiser Volunteers Needed
It’s peak soccer season and this is one of the best times of year for our school to fundraise by offering parking for the Timbers and Thorns games. These parking fundraisers hosted by the PTSA, will continue to fill the gap and help support our staff and students with the much-needed funds for student activities, such as supplies for classroom and electives, field trips, scholarships, dances, and community building events and all the reasons why we love and choose to be at MLC. Our parking coordinators will teach you everything you need to know to get you well on your way!

Class time will start promptly at 8:45. We will be clearing the halls of parents/guardians by 8:50 to start the day.
4th-6th grade students will enter the building at 8:40 through the main doors.

Exceptions will be made for weather determined by admin.
STUDENTS SHOULD NOT ARRIVE TO MLC BEFORE 8:30 a.m.
Unfortunately, we do not have enough staff to monitor all areas of the building and outdoors before those times. Teachers and staff are preparing for the day. We want to make sure all students are safe and in designated areas where there is adequate supervision.

Where do I park?
Street parking is the only option in our neighborhood. The back lot is reserved for staff with very limited and assigned parking.
DROP OFF (cars using the black top)
Please pull all the way up to the front doors/the line before students exit your vehicle.
Stay in the line to await exit upon Tony's signal. Line cutting is a safety issue with younger students close to the area.
Please do not use the back lot for drop off. This is our staff parking with assigned and very limited space. We want to make sure our educators are able to park and get into their classrooms each morning in time to prep for each day of learning.

Drivers will need to stay in their cars. A staff member will come to you for your child's name/with your child.
Stay in the line to await exit upon Tony's signal. Line cutting is a safety issue with younger students close to the area.
WALK UP PICK UP
Please come to the north side of the pick up line for walk ups (opposite of the cars). This will keep our car sight line and congestion clear.
There are zero lot spaces available in the back to spare for family parking. Please do not use the back lot for pick up/drop off in any way. We need to make sure our staff can park without any issue to educate students!
