More Helpful Information
Portables
For the safety of your child, we ask that you do not drop-off or pick up students from the portables. If a child is late or needs to be picked up early, please go directly to the office and follow the check in or out procedures.
Late Arrival
If your child arrives to school after 7:40am, please check-in at the office and your student will get a tardy pass to go to class.
Parking
There are minimal visitor parking spaces available in front of the school. Please do not park in the front or back staff parking lot. Our staff parking lot fills up quickly and some staff will be coming and going throughout the day. Please park only in designated spaces or on the street, not along the fire lane. Cars parked in fire lanes or no parking areas are subject to ticketing and towing.
Students who Walk to school
Students should cross streets only in marked crosswalks. Please DO NOT let your child cross between cars.
Cell Phone Use Prohibited
It is against the law to talk on a cell phone in a school zone. It poses an extremely dangerous and unsafe situation when driving around the children.
Pets
For the safety of all our student and staff please keep your furry friends at home during drop-off and dismissal.
