Morning and Afternoon Carpool Updates

Please help us keep traffic moving by continuing to the main exit if the right-turn exit-only lane is backed up.
Drivers will continue to be assisted by Officer Martin for both right and left turns at the main exit.
Help us sort traffic for afternoon carpool by lining up in the correct lane. Lower School traffic should stay in the right lane and proceed to the Lower School Portico, while Middle and Upper School traffic should wait at the back parking lot in the left lane for 3:15 carpool to open.
