What Time Do The Doors Open & Where Is The Student Drop Off Spot?

The front doors to the main office and the back doors at the student drop-off will be open at the following times:
8-845am on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays & Fridays

9-945am on Wednesdays as this is the late start day

You should drop off your student(s) at the North side of the building, not the front off the building. If you are picking up your student, please park in a parking spot and sign them out at the front office. Please do not use the bus circle as that is for the school buses that drop off and pick up students throughout the school day.

Parking Permits

If you signed up for a parking permit, it was sent to your advisory class last week. Sweeps of the parking lot will start soon, so make sure:
  • You have your permit, it is visible on your windshield (driver's side)
  • That you park in student parking spot (NOT visitor or staff parking).
