Good morning! We have a few changes to our car rider procedures this year. In the mornings, all grade school car riders will be dropped off at Door #2 starting at 7:30 a.m.
For afternoon pickup, parents will enter the line from Chestnut Street (near the track), drive through the side parking lot, and continue to the back lot where students will be loaded at Door #15. After pickup, cars will drive across the back lot and exit on the high school side of the building onto 6th Street. Please remember, parents must stay in their vehicles during dismissal and use extra caution for other traffic and students leaving for the day. Thank you for helping us keep things safe and running smoothly!
