🚨 PARENT REMINDER: STUDENT DROP-OFF & PICK-UP 🚨

If you are dropping off or picking up a student, PLEASE enter Matt Waller Drive from Highway 210.

❌ DO NOT access Matt Waller Dr from East Main Street.

Coming from East Main Street creates significant delays for our school buses and adds unnecessary traffic congestion around the school.

➡️ Correct route:
Highway 210 → Matt Waller Dr → School Parking Lot

Please follow the designated route to help keep traffic moving safely and efficiently for everyone.

New to the school? Be sure to check out the map below! 🚌🚗

Thank you for helping us keep arrival and dismissal running smoothly! ❤️🖤
