Upcoming Events

Drop off and Pick up!

Parents we need your help to ensure that student Drop off and Pick up is SAFE and smooth each day!

Flamingo Forest (off Kernan by front of school)
- This parking lot is only to be used if you are parking and walking your student into the building.
- Do not stop in the driving area and let your student out to walk up, this causes a back up and congestion.  It also puts your students at risk for being hit.  If you want to just drop and go - use the car-riders lane off Ashley Melisse - very fast in the morning.
- Please go in and out in the correct direction - Flamingo signs are posted (One has already been hit this year!)
- Drive Slowly! Stay off your Phone!

Faculty Parking Lot
-This parking lot should be used for extended day drop off.
- Please do not use the bus lanes.
- You must park and walk your student in when you use this lot.
- Please be extremely careful when driving in this lot, we have issues every year with families backing out of spots and nearly hitting students.
- Drive Slowly! Stay off your Phone!

Car Riders
- This circle should be used for drop and go in the morning and stop and get in the afternoon.
- We have alot of families using this option in the afternoon so be patient.
- Please move student car seats to the passenger side of the car so students can get in easily and do not have to walk around to the other side of the car.
- Do not get out of your car - slows down the line.
- Display a plate or sheet of paper with you students name clearly written (Big, Bold letters).
- Stay off your cellphone! It distracts your attention from the line moving, students walking to cars, and the car in front of you.  We have had several rear ending accidents and have been lucky no children have been hit.
- We walk students to the main office at 3:15, so if you are running late you will need to pick them up there.

Thank you for all your help!
