• Please park in the staff parking lot, enter through the gate near the Science Building, and come to the Attendance Office to sign out your child.

• Calling us ahead of time will allow us to have your child waiting for you.

• Last minute pick-ups may take longer due to some students in PE.

We understand that there are times when students need to be picked up early for appointments. To help us help you, please call and/or email the Attendance Office ahead of time to let us know what time you'd like to pick up your student. When arriving, please park in the staff parking lot off of Washington Street and enter through the gate closest to the Science Building. The Attendance Office entrance faces the library.
