• Please do not allow your students to exit your vehicle in the morning drop off-line until you reach the sidewalk. For safety purposes, we want to be able to see all students as they exit cars.
• Please make sure water bottle have a secure lid, and they only have water in them.
• Please do not block the gate entry as you come into the car rider line. Please move to the far left and fill up all rows.
• Please pull all the way forward in the morning and afternoon car line. This allows more cars in the parking lot and less traffic on the street.
