Should students choose to smoke/vape they must leave the school property to do so. Students who are caught vaping or smoking on property inside or outside of the schools may face discipline and/or have paraphernalia confiscated and/or a ticket issued by our school resource officer. Drop-offs and Pick-up Many of our students are dropped off and picked up. Directly in front of the school is a handicap and bus zone reserved for our yellow bus pick up. Please be aware of the bus zones in front of the school and refrain from parking in them during pick-up at the end of the day. Parents and guardians are encouraged to use 14th Avenue as an alternative street to meet their student for pick-up. Thank you. Student Parking Students who drive to school may park on the street in front of the school on 44th street or on 14th Avenue on the south side of the school. When parking students must obey all street parking signs.
