UPDATE ON DROP/OFF- PICK-UP

8/19/21

STARTING MONDAY, AUGUST 23RD

In order to help lessen the traffic jams (to the best of our ability) we are going to CHANGE Drop-off/ Pick-up LOCATIONS STARTING MONDAY - August 23rd.

Tk-2nd - Front of office - When families enter the front parking lot before or after school they must enter the parking from Academy Drive and exit parking lot going straight out of parking lot down Academy Drive. Please do NOT park in loading zones. (See Map Below)

3rd - 5th will enter off Mangels to the back of the school. Students will quickly enter/exit the car from the driver's side. (See Map Below)

We will NO longer USE the BUS LOOP.

PLEASE be courteous to the houses in the neighborhood. Please do not block driveways, move trash cans nor pull into driveways.

If you are walking to pick up your students, please have only 1 adult come to the front of the school to meet your student. We have literally hundreds of students looking for their adult. We need to lessen the crowds. We encourage everyone to wear a mask due to the large numbers of people.

Students may EXIT campus at the end of the day through the library gate in the Back of the school.

Another option: there are two designated spots on Mangels to Drop off and Pick up students. Students can then walk down Mangels, cross at Vintage Valley and walk along the park to get too school. #1 closer to roundabout & #2 closer to the light. (See Pictures Below)
