This message is for families with students participating in morning lifting sessions (5:55–7:00 AM).
We have been very encouraged by the strong turnout for lifting and appreciate your support of our students’ commitment to improvement. To help keep traffic flowing safely and avoid congestion during the morning arrival window, we ask for your cooperation with the following pick-up procedures:
Please do not wait or park at the top of the hill by the drive going down to the weight room, or along the bus loop/center peninsula, as these areas can become congested during morning drop-off.
Parents may form a single-file pick-up line along the front of the Castle/Moss area, following staff direction.
Parents may also park in the Moss parking lot and have students walk to their vehicle.
Once the snow starts to melt, families may utilize the parking spots at the top of the hill in front of the Castle building.
These procedures will help ensure student safety and allow for a smooth transition into the school day for everyone.
Thank you for your continued support and flexibility as we work to make morning lifting a positive experience for all.
