PICK-UP AND DROP-OFF
Thank you to everyone for your patience going through the first week of after school pickup. There is always a learning curve when we start the new school year. Just a couple of reminders about the traffic pattern in the parking lot:
The pickup line goes around the perimeter of the parking lot. Please do not cut down one of the aisles and try to jump back in the line.
Do not cross the solid white lines. Those are used to split multiple lanes and can cause backups or confusion if you try to jump lanes. If you get in the wrong lane, there is a place for you to make the turn you need later in the line.
Unless otherwise directed, please remember to follow all traffic rules, especially at the four-way stop. Take some time to review these with your student driver.
Above all, remember that there are many student drivers leaving the parking lot at the same time. Most of them are pretty inexperienced and may not be used to congestion like this. Have patience with them and expect the unexpected.
STUDENT FEES
Please check your student’s account for any course fees. Even if you have already paid them, please double check in case there were any schedule changes or athletic participation fees. If you cannot find them on Infinite Campus, here is the Fee Paying Guide to help. Yearbooks, parking passes, and PE t-shirts are optional fees and you only need to pay for them if you want those items.
PARKING PASSES
Parking passes can be picked up at the main office starting Monday the 24th. Students can get their pass if they have turned in a completed parking form and made the payment. All passes need to be displayed clearly on the lower right corner of the rear window.
