As we prepare to welcome students back to school, please refamiliarize yourself with the drop off and pick up procedures for each school building. Here are the directions for the MS/HS building.

Keep in mind that the first day will ALWAYS take longer to pick up and drop off. Plan ahead. Many people drop off and pick up on the First Day who will not normally do so. Please be patient, follow signage, and the directions of the staff.
