Hug 'n' Go

Our Hug N’ Go lane is located at the front of the school between the sidewalk and parking lot. Please know that this lane is intended for quick drop off and pick up. We ask that parents utilizing the Hug and Go lane stay in their car and to have their student exit and enter the car quickly.

If you wish to park and walk your student, please utilize the parking spaces outside of the Staff Parking Lot.

We appreciate your support in keeping this procedure running smoothly and safely.
