Carpool Tips- We ask that you help us provide you with an efficient and safe carpool experience by using the following carpool tips. We appreciate your attention and assistance as we work to ensure the safety of our students, families and staff.
1. Drop/pick up your child off in the safe area between the orange cones. **Please do not drop off/pick up before the designated area.**
2. Pull forward to the first orange cone or to the car in front of you. Please do not stop in the middle of the carpool lane. This creates traffic delays.
3. For drop off, please have your child ready to exit the vehicle. They should have their shoes on, backpack ready, breakfast eaten, etc.
4. When you have reached the appropriate drop off/pick up area, your child may exit/enter the vehicle themselves. We have staff and will soon have safety patrol to assist younger students, but older students should not wait for someone to open their door.
5. Please do not block the Pedestrian Cross Walk.
Chorus Students
Chorus practice begins at 8:00 and students should report to the rehearsal when the bell rings, not before. Practice will not begin any earlier, and students should not arrive on campus any earlier than 7:55.
