Kiss and Ride - New Entrance and Exit for Students

Starting Monday, January 27th, part of our rear blacktop area will be fenced off in order for construction to build our new Kiss and Ride location.  During this phase of renovation, students will continue to be dropped off and picked up at our existing Kiss and Ride loop; parent drop off and pick up location remains the same.  Students will be directed to use the walkway that runs parallel to the service road and enter and exit Door 9.  Walkers will be directed to exit Doors 3 and 9. We appreciate your support as we ensure students have a safe arrival and departure to and from school.
