FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL IS TOMORROW!

School Begins at 8:25 am!

We're so excited to see all of our Buccaneers back in the building tomorrow! The building will open at 8:00 am for arrivals.

Students arriving before the 8:20 bell should report to the following locations:

6th Grade - Auditorium (enter through the front right doors of the building)

7th Grade - Gym (enter through the front left doors of the building)

8th Grade - Cafeteria (enter through the doors on the right side of the building closest to Woodrow)

Students arriving after the 8:20 bell can report directly to their 1st period classrooms. Students who arrive after 8:25 are tardy and must enter the building through the center doors at the front of the school.

Dismissal will begin at 3:55 pm and will occur in zones throughout the school.

One-way hallways with social distancing will be in place again this year during passing periods! There are stickers on the floor of each hallway indicating the direction of traffic and proper distancing.

TRAFFIC FLOW

Please reference the Traffic Flow Map for pick-up and drop off at school. Please note that traffic on Reiger is one way during morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up!

Parents may wait in cars in designated areas adjacent to the school or they may park along Covington to wait for students after dismissal.

The Teacher Parking Lot along the side of the school is NOT a student loading/unloading area! Athletics students with backpacks may enter through the side doors (after being dropped on Paulus) to put items in lockers, but will be required to exit the building and re-enter through the designated door for their grade.
