All students participating in extracurricular activities are expected to leave the building by 4:30 p.m. Students may be transported home one of three ways: walking, parent/guardian pick-up, or by school bus. Students who are walkers or riding with a parent or guardian will exit through the main doors. Bus riders will exit through the bus loop doors. All parents/guardians who are picking up students need to use the pick-up/drop-off lanes only, to ensure the safety of those students boarding busses. Students who are not picked up on time may be ineligible to participate in future extracurricular activities.
