- Parent Guidelines: Parents of students in grades 2-8 should not stay on campus after drop-off or pick-up.
- Arrival Time: Please DO NOT drop off children before 7:30 am, as there is no adult supervision before that time.
- Entry/Exit: Enter through the Berendo gate and exit onto 161st St., adhering to a 5-mph speed limit.
- JH Students will be seated by the bleachers during pick-up.
- Multiple Children: If you have multiple children, the oldest sibling will join the youngest sibling at their designated pick-up spot.
- To maintain a comfortable and distraction-free learning environment, we ask that all students follow the guidelines below:
- Students should avoid wearing strong cologne, as it may trigger headaches or allergic reactions in others.
- Girls are not allowed to wear or bring makeup to school. This includes lip products, hairbrushes, and similar items.
- If a student is found using or bringing these items, they will receive a verbal warning and a parent notification via email. Repeated violations will result in consequences aligned with the school’s progressive discipline policy.
To welcome all families on our first day of school, we are offering donuts and coffees to all the parents. Please join us at carline and brown benches. Donuts are only for parents/guardians not for students!
