Safe Drop off/ Pick Up Zones

Please do not enter the Staff Parking Lot (highlighted in red) from 8:00AM to 9:00AM or 3:00PM to 4:00PM. Stopping in these areas, even for a few seconds, can put our students at risk, as it adds to congestion.
As you will note on the map, Hamilton and Knox are located right near the school & allow for good flow of traffic for student drop-offs.
