This is at the pick up/drop off circle. Remember that if you are going to get out of your car to pick up your child, you cannot park in the drop off circle. At no time will students be allowed to cross a street or walk through a parking lot without an adult. When students are dropped off they are expected to walk to the playground on the outside sidewalks. They should not go through the building to get to the playground.
