Pioneer Families, we need your help!

Please take a moment to review our morning drop-off procedures. Keeping our students safe starts with how we enter the lot, where we drop off, and how we exit.

RIGHT LANE: Drop-off only
LEFT LANE: Pull forward to find a spot or exit the lot
Use your blinker and PLEASE do not drive forward in the right drop-off lane.

Reference the graphic for more details.

Thank you for your cooperation and continued support of all our Pioneers!
