Additional Student Support

Student Drop-Off / Pick-Up and Visitor Parking 
Families are encouraged to use the district transportation service whenever possible.
Families choosing not to use district transportation are encouraged to
carpool with friends and neighbors.

Students may be dropped off and picked up from three (3) locations:
the Front Circle Drive off 13 Mile Road,
the designated drop off lanes in the West Lot-the West Porch “designated drop off lane”
or the Pool Entrance area.
The “designated drop off lanes” will be marked by painted lines
along the West Porch and Pool Entrance area.
Parents are asked to pull up as far forward as possible
when using the Front Circle Drive, the West Porch, or the Athletic area.
Please pull into the area so student traffic can continue to move in the lot.
Left hand turns from the Front Circle Drive are strongly discouraged.
Left hand turns may be unsafe and will cause traffic to become congested in the circle drive.
These areas will become congested from 7:15 to 7:30 a.m. and from 2:45 to 3:00 p.m.
Parents are encouraged to drop students off prior to 7:10 a.m. and pickup after 2:50 p.m.

All students must be picked up by 3:00 p.m. every day.
Students who are not participating in an after-school activity will have to exit the building.

There will be no student drop-off or pick-up in the North Lot or North Lane
because of safety issues. Drivers may not use the Music Circle Drive
for drop-off or pick-up - this area is designated for buses only.
Consequences for families who use the North Lot, North Lane or
Music Circle drive for drop-off are at the discretion of the administration
and are adjusted as necessary based on the severity of the situation.

Parents who visit the school during the day may park in the
Front Circle Drive or the visitor parking area at the entrance to the West Lot.
Visitors must check in with the front desk to identify their vehicle.

Illness
Students do not want to miss school when they are sick and that is a tribute to how much they value school.  But we are seeing an increase in communicable illnesses:  mono, hand, foot and mouth disease and flu like illness.  Please do not send sick students to school.  It elongates your child’s illness and spreads infection to other.
