Parents and guardians: When picking up students after school, please use the middle lane of the parking lot or park across the street to wait for your student. The lane closest to the building is reserved for the buses. This should help alleviate congestion and allows the buses to get in and out of the lot quicker. Thank you for your patience in this matter.
