Student Drop-off and Pick-up

Map
Students are picked up and dropped off in the front of the school. Cars should enter off of Hwy 123 at the old JH entrance and follow the path to the front of the JH Main Building. Students can only be dropped off and picked up in the yellow area.

The parking lot behind the school next to the Athletic Hallway and Competition Gym is reserved for bus drop off and pick up only. No car drop off/pick up.

Where do I go when I get to school?

On the first day, we will post lists for students to find their 1st period class. We have reprinted their schedules and students will receive them in 1st period.

Breakfast will be served in the main cafeteria each morning. Students wishing to eat breakfast will report to the main cafeteria.

If your student is not eating breakfast, they will report to the following locations:
  • 6th Graders - 6th Grade Cafeteria
  • 7th and 8th grade students in Athletics - Report to the gym
  • 7th and 8th grade students not in athletics - Report to Main Cafeteria

Chromebooks

All students should have received their Chromebook. If your student has not or has any issues, please send them to Ms. Gonzales in the library.

Student ID's

Students are required to wear their Student Identification Cards visible all day. These may be worn on a lanyard or on a clip worn on their shirt. Students will receive a temporary ID on the first day of school. Permanent IDs will be distributed in a few weeks.

Replacement IDs: The first replacement ID will be free of charge. Following that, there is a $5.00 fee for replacements. Students can visit the library to receive their replacement IDs.

Please help your student find a place to store their IDs at home so they will not forget to bring them to school.
