Lower Campus Morning Drop Off

 

Kelly Mill side morning drop off has gotten unsafe. In an effort to keep students, faculty and staff safe, please do not use the parking lot to drop off your student. All students should be dropped off in the car rider line. The line is constantly moving and has staff outside to assist when needed. When your car stops, students may exit the car.

It is not safe for students to walk across the crosswalk with the traffic flow in the mornings. Please utilize the car rider line so that we can keep everyone safe. Thank you for helping to make sure we keep everyone safe! Don't forget, all staff come inside to get the day started at 8:00am.
