CAFETERIA DROP-OFF and SAFETY REMINDERS
The cafeteria gate is open daily from 7:30 am-8:00 am for student drop-off. For safety reasons, please
exercise patience and do not bypass other cars and/or let students out before reaching the turnaround area
in the cafeteria parking lot. This includes stopping to let students out by the portables. This creates
the dangerous bottle necking of cars, bicyclists, and pedestrians by the cafe gate. Please drive slowly
since many bicyclists/pedestrians use the cafe gate to enter campus. Bicyclists/pedestrians are strongly
encouraged to use the Bike Gate to enter campus. We have ordered more signs to help remind everyone
to drive/bike/walk with caution. Thank you for your patience in advance. - Admin

fashionable tattered look, however, please refrain from wearing clothing with excessive rips
and holes above the height of the permissible shorts length. Also, remember that any type of
clothing displaying inappropriate language/symbols or representing/depicting gangs are prohibited.
Dress code violations with threatening messages/images will be treated as serious Chapter 19

authorized reason to be on campus should be on campus after the bell rings and the school
