The safety of our cadets/staff/volunteers is priority. We kindly ask that drivers exercise caution and patience in the parking lot. Winter weather conditions may delay drop off/pick up.
Please plan ahead for transportation to and from cadet activities. It is important that cadets be picked up at the specified end time of activities. Beyond this, cadets/staff must wait outside when there is no access to buildings regardless of weather conditions. We thank you for your continued support and collaboration.
Tip: always check the website Announcements and Calendar prior to an activity to familiarize with the start/end times and any pertinent details.
