Safety

Dear Parents/Guardians, We want to keep you informed of the safety measures that are in place at the school level for the welfare of students, faculty, and staff while on the school campus. This school year we will conduct at least five lockdown drills and monthly fire drills. During these drills, students, faculty, and staff follow prescribed safety steps to keep them safe and secure during an emergency situation. If you have any questions, please let me know. Respectfully, Lisa Vaughn

Drop-Off Procedures

When dropping off students in the morning, please pull all the way down to the end of the white lines on the pavement. Having as many cars as possible to drop off at the same time helps keep traffic moving. We also may wave you forward even if someone is standing at the walkway. Again, this is to help with traffic flow. You may NOT drop students off in the parking lot (unless there is physical condition that limits or prevents a student from walking). Students may NOT be dropped off anywhere along the car line besides the designated drop off area. Thank you for your help and cooperation.
