Drop-off and pick-up area
The traffic pattern used last year at the middle school for dropping off and picking up students will once again be used this year. Parents/guardians are to turn onto Hoover Avenue and travel toward Martin’s until the visitors section of Mansell Stadium.
There you will see signs to tell you where to enter, where to drive around the old maintenance building, where to drop off your child and then signs of where to exit. Once students are dropped off, they will walk toward the building on the sidewalk and enter through the front doors
At dismissal, students will leave the school through the same doors they entered. Walkers will walk on the sidewalk and crosswalks toward Liberty Boulevard, and private riders will walk on the sidewalk toward the visitors stands. Parents/guardian should park in one of the many parking places that have been outlined until your child comes to your vehicle.
Only students who are in wheelchairs or on crutches are to be dropped off or picked up in front of the school during arrival and dismissal times.
