The spaces marked with a Cougar Paw are restricted to school personnel only. Parents should never park in these spaces. Loading and unloading cars takes place at the front of the building, with students entering and leaving the front entrance door between the hours of 7:15-8:00 a.m. and 2:30-3:30 p.m. Cars loading and unloading students will drive West on Cougar lane and pull up next to the sidewalk. Traffic on Cougar Lane runs east to west from Elm to Maple. Only kindergartners and their siblings may come and go from the kindergarten wing door. School buses and day care vans pick up outside the gym on the west side of the building.
PLEASE be careful to drive at a safe speed when driving down Cougar Lane to park when picking your child up. Parents are encouraged to use the Car Rider lane and park only when arriving early enough to walk in and wait to pick a child up. This is to avoid causing unnecessary traffic on Cougar Lane.

School Age Childcare: Before and after school care is provided for a fee for our students. If you are interested in enrolling your child, please contact the Site Director, Mr. Trevor Sheets. Before and after school hours the S.A.C. program can be reached at 526-4273.
