Student Arrival / Dismissal Information
Morning Arrival: (7:00 – 8:00)
All students should be dropped off in front of the school at the flag pole. Students will enter the building and proceed to the Cafeteria. All students who drive should enter the building through the rear entrance to the Cafeteria. Students will remain in the Cafeteria until released at 7:45.
Students who are dropped off after 8:00 am will enter through the main door of the building. Students that drive who arrive after 8:00 am will enter through the rear hallway next to the Cafeteria. There will be an electronic lock with a camera door bell so that office personnel can “buzz” the students in. All students arriving after 8:00 am must report to the office to sign in.
Afternoon Dismissal: (2:55 and 3:05)
At 2:55 pm, all 1st bus riders, drivers, and athletes with workouts/practice will be released.

Parents should pick their student up in the front of the school. There will be two lanes of traffic coming through by the bus stop awning. Please do not block the lane closest to the bus stop as this lane is for buses only. If the pick-up lane is full, we ask that you wait in the gravel parking lot beside the softball field.
