Parking spaces are provided for parents who must walk students to class or pick them up in the afternoon. If a parent has a conference, they should park in the parking spaces provided in the front of the school. All parents must report to the main office for a visitor pass.
Walkers Procedures: All walkers will enter and exit through the two gates located on South Main Street. (Gates are located on the picnic shelter side of South Main Street and at the corner of South Main Street and Newberry Street.) The student’s address will determine which gate he or she will use in the afternoon. Parents should not park along the fence or in the church parking lot. Parents should not walk through the exit to receive children.
Daycare/Bus Riders Procedures: All daycare students and bus riders report to the bus port at the end of the 100 Building on Floral Avenue. All Exceptional Education bus riders will report to the bus port on Floral Avenue (this is located at the back of the school).
