Safe Parking Reminders
Please remember to follow our parking lot protocols (see above) and refrain from parking in the Safe Parking Walkway area. Additionally, there is no pick-up or drop-off in the area around the belltower. It is putting students, parents, and staff at risk as well as slowing down the flow of traffic. Thank you for helping us keep our campus safe!
