Student Drop-Off and Pick-Up Procedures If you drop-off or pick-up your student, please use the student parking lot. For your convenience, we have installed a covered walkway in the student parking lot. The location of the walkway assists with the safety of our morning and afternoon car riders. The main parking lot is reserved for staff and faculty. Also, ESE buses drop-off and pick-up our ESE students from this lot. This includes several wheelchair bound students. Visitors can find designated parking in the main lot; however, we ask that normal drop-off and pick-ups be conducted from the student lot.
Early Release Students that leave prior to dismissal time must bring a note from their parents to Student Services first thing in the morning, requesting an early dismissal pass. There are no EARLY Release’s after 1:45 PM. Please feel free to call Student Services for clarification @ 625-7810
