Car riders may arrive and enter the building no earlier than 7:30 AM each day. Students should report directly to the Freshman Academy atrium after arrival. This is the only location where freshmen may be before school begins without permission otherwise. Beginning at 8:00 am, students may report to their first-period classroom.
If riding with a sibling, 9th graders will enter the main entrance from the student parking lot and report directly to the Freshman Academy.
Parents of 9th-grade students may utilize the Freshman Car Circle for both morning pick-up and afternoon pick-up. The entrance to this car circle is across from the elementary school and is located off Laroache Drive. A map of the car circle can be VIEWED HERE.
While most parents find the Freshman Car Circle to be more convenient, parents may utilize the main entrance drop-off line if dropping off or picking up upperclassmen in addition to their 9th-grader. Likewise, upperclassmen may be dropped off in the freshman car circle if they have a 9th-grade sibling.
9th graders are not eligible to obtain a permit for parking on campus.
All buses are managed by our district transportation department. Parents must indicate each year during the online registration process whether bus transportation is needed. If bus transportation becomes necessary later in the year, parents must submit a request to the transportation department. These requests typically take several days to be processed, especially if there is not an existing bus stop near your address. If you know you need bus transportation to start the year, then please make sure you complete the online registration well before the first day of school.
Contact the district transportation department with any questions or concerns: 864-947-8989.
