Line-Up Before School Procedures

  • Students in 6th grade will line up near Door #2 (previously known as the “8th grade door.”).  This is the door they will enter in the morning.
     
  • Students in 7th grade will line up near the main school doors. This is the door they will enter in the morning.
     
  • Students in 8th grade will line up to the south (left) of the main doors and 7th grade students.  They will enter the main doors in the morning.

Dismissal Procedures

When the dismissal bell rings, students should exit the building to wait for their bus or car pick-up. Students should immediately board their bus and sit in their assigned seat. When waiting for a bus that has not yet arrived, students should wait in the same area as their line-up time. Car riders should use the crosswalk to move to the sidewalk median to await their pick-up. 
 

Thank you for your cooperation with these procedures. They are designed to maintain student safety and an orderly arrival and dismissal time.
