Please remember that there are only two places to park for carpool: 1) in the carpool line or lot in the south parking lot and 2) in the car parking near buses if you are in a rush. Parents are not permitted to pick up students beside the school or over beside the cafeteria. While it may seem a bit more hassle for you, doing carpool the way that we do allows us to properly supervise the students and avoid accidents in the parking lot. Thank you for your support.
