• Parents may either: 
  • Use the designated Student Drop-Off Area at the front of the school, or
  • Park in the designated visitor parking lot and walk their child to the front entrance. Handicap parking requires a valid permit. Violations may result in a Military Police citation.
• To maintain campus security, entry to the building during morning arrival is limited to students. Parents and visitors must check in through the school office before entering.

Students eating breakfast should report directly to the cafeteria upon arrival. Student breakfast begins at 7:00 a.m. To ensure students have sufficient time to eat before instruction begins at 7:35 a.m., we kindly ask that they arrive no later than 7:20 a.m.

Arriving After 7:35 a.m.
