A separate email with registration information will be sent out this week (new families will receive different information than those returning). Keep an eye out for this email. Students cannot begin school until all forms are filled out and registration is complete.

- The school building is accessible to students beginning at 7:40 am. If you drop students off before this, they will be asked to wait outside the building until 7:40 am. All students should be dropped off at the front of the school.
- Pick-up for grades 7-9 occurs at the BACK (North) side of the building. You can access this area by going straight along the east side of the building.
- Pick-up for grades 10-12 occurs at the front of the building.
- Gates are opened at 3:00 pm on M/Tu/Th/Fri and 12 pm on Wednesdays.
- If you have students in multiple grades, simply coordinate one pick-up location. Please limit speed and be mindful of pedestrians and vehicles.
- We will have staff outside for the first few weeks to assist families during after-school pick-up.
Students arriving late must sign in and obtain a tardy pass from the front desk. ALL students who need to leave early MUST have parental permission, regardless of age. Parents picking up their child early must come inside the building to sign out their child and present identification to the front staff. Students who drive themselves need parental permission to leave early, even if they are 18 years old. Parents of student drivers/18+ students, please email [email protected] to permit for your child to leave school early (we cannot accept parent text messages shown to us by students).
- We will continue to contract through Rhubarb and Elliot for lunch. You may create an account with Rhubarb and Elliot, and order/pay for lunches here: https://www.rhubarbandelliott.com/data
- Only CLASSIFIED Seniors (18 credits or more) may leave campus at lunch. We will be checking senior schedules during lunch. Schedules must have a senior status/designation (“grade 12”) on their schedule to leave.
- To increase safety by limiting the number of people on campus, students are not allowed to order food from delivery services such as DoorDash or Grubhub. Any food delivered during this time will be kept at the front office until dismissal. Most students bring lunch from home or order from Rhubarb and Elliot. We have microwaves and filtered water dispensers around campus for student convenience and also sell small food items at the snack bar during lunch.
Parking passes must be purchased from Ms. Gasca (security) within the first two weeks of school. Passes are $20 for the year, cash only. Students will have one month to purchase passes (deadline September 7th) and will be fined if they do not have a pass after September 7th. Students must present a valid driver’s license, and proof of insurance and registration to purchase a pass. Students and their parents/guardians must sign a parking agreement before receiving their pass: Parking Agreement- 24-25.docx
