NO DROP OFF OR PARKING IN STAFF PARKING LOT- Please help us keep our students and campus safe by not picking up, dropping off, or parking in the staff parking lot. This applies to before and after school as well. Spaces are assigned and disrupt the work day for faculty and staff when spaces are taken or occupied. Also, cars going through that lot pose a safety concern for our campus. Students that are picked up, dropped off, parking, or grabbing items from the staff lot will receive a detention.
NO DROP OFFS- As a reminder, we do not allow any Student item drop offs. This includes food services (Uber Eats, Door Dash, etc). If you need to exchange something with your Student (Guardian or Emergency Contact in Aries), please let your student know ahead of time or via text to meet you in the main office. We are not able to call classrooms to remind Students to come up for drop offs or call them out of class. When coming in to exchange, please enter from the main office doors off of D Street. We thank you in advance for your cooperation. This allows us to keep our campus safe during the school day for all Students.
LUNCH IN STUDENT PARKING LOT– is NOT permitted. Students are not allowed to loiter, mingle, eat lunch and set out chairs in the parking lot at lunch so that we may maintain the safety of everyone.
