High School
Vehicles will enter the High School parking lot by the gym and will be directed where to go from there. Families will be able to stay in their vehicles throughout the process in order to maintain social distancing guidelines. It would greatly be appreciated if families would write the student’s first name, last name, and grade level on a piece of paper and place it in the windshield when they come up to school. This will help keep the process moving quickly. If families have children in other buildings, we will be flexible if they need to come up to the high school during a different grade level drop off time.
