Drop off:

Parents can walk with their child to the front of the school gate by the front office or drop-off their child in the car (please stay in your car, a staff member or patrol will help the child get out of the car)  through the driveway in the front of the school.  Students will walk either to the cafeteria to wait for their teacher (Pre-K & Kindergarten) or walk to their designated waiting areas until their teacher opens their door.  There will be staff and safety patrol helping the younger students get to the cafeteria or their assigned waiting area in the beginning of the school year.
