• Many students have to undergo schedule changes involuntarily to help balance the master schedule. This is disruptive and in some cases upsetting to students, but it is an unavoidable part of meeting everyone’s needs in a comprehensive high school. We apologize for the inconvenience that this causes. You will find that class leveling occurs in virtually every school early in the school year. Any changes will be made during the first 3 weeks of the semester to avoid disruption.

• WHAT ARE THE DROP-OFF AND PICK-UP POLICIES?

• The 10 minutes before school starts get very congested! Earlier drop-off is encouraged. Our campus is open at 7:30 so bring 'em early. They get free breakfast!
• Vehicle entry to campus is available off of Springdale and Edinger. When dropping off your student it is IMPERATIVE to utilize the designated drop off locations in the parking lot. Please DO NOT park in Staff Parking to drop off your student or just stop in a random spot to drop-off. We have a lot of staff and limited parking. It is important that our staff are able to readily park and begin their work day.
