- If you need to stop and wait or to come into the building, please park in the designated parking area. Do not leave a vehicle unattended in a traffic lane at anytime for any purpose. Stop only to pick up or drop off students.
- Staff members will be on the sidewalks each afternoon to assist with students getting into cars.
- ALL VISITORS must sign in at the office and receive a pass. It is important that each visitor have his or her name on the visitor log when in the building.
