Quick Reminders

  • Students are only released to authorized pickups, who must present a photo ID

Arrival & Dismissal Procedures

Arrival and Dismissal Procedures are a vital resource, especially during the first weeks of school. It outlines arrival, dismissal, and car line procedures, timings, and guidelines for drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists.
