The left "express" lane in the front of the school is only for students capable of getting out on their own and using a cross walk.
*For safety, please don't have students exit to the middle of the driveway. Have them exit the vehicle to the side of the sidewalk.
Students that are in car seats and need help unbuckling, parents please park on the gym side and walk them up.
