Buses

In an effort to reduce traffic congestion ALL bus routes will enter and exit using the EAST lot (closest to Harlem). No student pick-ups are allowed in the front lot. If you are picking up your child early from school and will be signing him/her out, you may park in the EAST lot and enter the building in order to sign out your student. Students who will be walking or getting a ride to school are to use the WEST parking lot.


Bicyclists

Students riding bikes are asked to lock their bike at the bike rack. Students are not allowed at the bike rack during the school day. Bikes are to be walked once on school grounds. Bikes must be taken home at the end of the day.
