Morning drop off and afternoon pickup procedures: Students are not allowed to enter the building until 7:30 a.m. Morning drop off for ALL students will be in the elementary parking lot. Please enter the high school parking lot, make an immediate left turn onto the road that runs parallel to Hwy UU (where the old bus barn used to sit), and make a right into the elementary parking lot. This drop off procedure is for all grade levels, elementary, middle, and high school. The buses will drop off at the high school entrance giving more room for drop off on the elementary side. Students will be directed to their classrooms and cafeteria from those designated areas. Pickup after school for car riders will be in the high school parking lot (enter on the gravel road before the high school entrance) and buses will dismiss from the elementary lot. Parents need to stay in their vehicles while dropping off and picking up. Preschool and kindergarten parents are allowed to walk their children in for the first week. Thank you for your cooperation.
