Arriving tardy to school

Arrivals after 7:30AM

The Kiss and Ride line closes at 7:30AM. If arriving after 7:30, kindly drop your student off at Door 1 so they may stop in the office to get a pass to class.

Important details regarding school arrivals:

  • Students are expected to be in their seat at 7:30AM. **It can take students up to five minutes to get to their first class given our large campus. Please ensure you student is dropped off by 7:25 to avoid tardiness. 
  • We are not authorized to use the parking lot of the Masonic Temple next door. It is not a student drop-off or pickup location.
