Driving to and from School
AM Entry Procedures begin at 7:30 AM Children should arrive no earlier than 7:30 AM as there will be no adult supervision until 7:30 AM.

Parent Drop-Offs--Students dropped off by parents will enter the property by turning into the parking lot in BACK of the school from North Walnut Street.

- Students should exit out the right side (passenger side) of the vehicle and walk on the sidewalk to the BACK entrance door.
- Parents who wish to park in the lot and walk students to the door are welcome to do so. Parking is also available along Schoolside Drive or Portland Street. The walking paths are are a nice feature.
