Most common student pick-up procedure
Students should be picked up from the gate behind the main school building.
Enter at the rear of the campus from Severin Drive and exit along the east side of the building. In order to keep the traffic moving as quickly as possible, please arrive at your child’s dismissal time, not before. If you must arrive before your child is dismissed, either park in the lot or continue to circle around the building until your child’s dismissal time.
