Students can be picked up from the west or east gate and must have a placard hanging in a window.

Signing In

All parents and visitors are required to sign in at the front office before visiting the classroom for conferences, programs, etc. A photo identification is required at sign-in, if you are requesting entrance into the school for any reason. This is necessary and enforced for the safety of our students.
