New Drop Off/Pick Up for Parents/Guardians
This is a new Drop off/Pick Up & Traffic Plan for Parents and Guardians for the 2025-2026 year. Students will be dropped off in the old bus alley (off Oregon Avenue) and busses will now be on Pearl Street.
Please respect our neighbors and keep driveways clear. Do not block or stop to load or unload in heavy traffic. Please only drop off and pick up in student drop off pick up areas.
Student Drop off and Pick up at the office (smiley face at the office) is 8:35-3:15
Please use the key provided to see notes.
There is no student drop off or pick up on Jackson Street. (You can be cited if you park on Jackson)

*Students attending our specialized FOCUS and MAPS programs may be placed outside of their neighborhood school. While we prioritize a student’s placement to be at their neighborhood school, not all schools offer all specialized programs, and other factors are also considered when making these individualized decisions. Class lists will be completed this spring and families will be notified in May.
