Drop-Off/Pick-Up

• Supervision and breakfast begin at 8:00 a.m.

• Parents can park in designated parking spots and walk their student to the back of the school OR do a curbside drop-off in the lane in front of the school.
• Curbside drop off:  Students can exit the vehicle (curbside) and walk through the gate near the reader board, to their designated class line lineup spot behind Grant Watts.  Parents, please remain in your vehicle and pull as far forward as possible. If your student needs support getting out of the vehicle, please park in a parking spot and walk with them. 
• Parking: This can be a very busy parking lot, as there are limited spaces and many vehicles. Please park in designated parking spots only, and be cautious of pedestrians. Do not park in front of the fire hydrant on SE Vine Street, or move any of the cones that have been placed in our parking lot. This is for public safety. 
• Please note that the front doors are not staffed until 8:10 am. Students must walk around to the back of the school until this time.
