Arrival Logistics:

  • Students may enter the building via the Blue Door for breakfast at 7:30am.
  • All other doors open at 7:45am.
  • Once students are on campus they should proceed to their entrance. Outside areas are not monitored by staff during arrival.
  • Delmar and Anita are designated as drop and go areas. We ask that you not park on these streets during arrival as it impedes traffic flow and presents a safety concern for our students. Anita Street is a No Parking zone from 7:00am-9:00am.
  • No student shall be dropped off on Matilda Street or Mockingbird Lane which are not deemed to be safe drop off locations.
  • Perimeter gates will be closed at 8:00am.
  • Students arriving after 8:00am must go to the main entrance on Mockingbird. For the safety of your child please escort them to the main entrance.
