Where should I drop-off/pick-up my student?
Parents should use the south side of Franklin St. as a pick-up and drop-off location for their students. As a safety precaution, we ask that you please not stop in or cut through the school parking lots. View/print the complete Campus Traffic Pattern regulations and map at cjeagles.org.
