🚍 Reminder: BUS Drop-off & Pick-up Procedures
To help keep traffic safe and running smoothly, please remember the following:
Elementary School
Morning Drop-off (AM): Use West Street to access the office circle drive or cafeteria door. If waiting for doors to open at 7:50, park on the left side of West Street so buses can pass. Do not drive on the road between the playground/baseball fields and the building—this is reserved for buses.
Afternoon Pick-up (PM): Parents should line up on the road between the playground and baseball fields.
High School
The north drive is for buses only. Please do not use it during drop-off or pick-up times.
Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us keep students safe!
