Morning Drop-Off begins at 7:30 AM. Please note that parents/caregivers will not be allowed in the building on school days.

Students Being Dropped-Off by Other Drivers

• Families will pull their cars either through the back alley of the school or along S. First Street. Families with elementary students are highly encouraged to drop-off in the alley; school staff will be available to help your child from the car and guide them directly into the gym. Elementary students being dropped off on S. First Street will need to be able to exit the vehicle themselves and direct themselves to the gym.

Students Who Drive and Their Passengers

• Students who drive to school will park their cars in the designated area in the parking garage and will enter the school via the pedway. Due to the ongoing renovation in our building, any student arriving after 8:00 AM will need to walk around to the S. First Street door to enter the school. (The electronic door opening software is not currently working on the pedway.)

Students Who Ride TARC

• Students who ride TARC to school will report to the S. First Street entrance.

Elementary “Walkers” Being Picked Up by Others

• Parents, caregivers, and older siblings who wish to pick up elementary “walkers” can do so at door #16 on Muhammad Ali Blvd. (This is the door under the blue awning.) Parents, caregivers, and older siblings will present the car rider tag to staff stationed at that door and students will be handed off to the person picking them up. Students will not be permitted to exit that door to walk to an adult waiting in a vehicle.
