The Chieftain Pride Program is a shift from a punishment based system of discipline to one that actively teaches and promotes student engagement. Looking harder at positive class/school wide behaviors and rewards students for positive behaviors while maintaining classroom and building discipline.
Be Safe
Be Respectful
Be a Learner
Be a Chieftain
Here are some tips to help make the school’s car line move along more smoothly.
Aim to be in line by 7:20 a.m. to arrive on time.
Patience is easier when you plan realistically. The car line usually takes 5 min from start to finish, more if you arrive at peak times or on a rainy day.
Read and observe the traffic plan outlined on the next page.
You need to approach the school from Ludlow and stay to your right. The right two lanes are one-way.
For your safety and the safety of your child please refrain from using your cell phone while in the car line.
Do not let your child out of the car until you have reached one of the two drop off areas in front of the school.
Your child will be greeted by Mr. Styles, our crossing-guard, one of our administrators or our School Resource Officer, Mr. Huffman.
The Northeast Parking Lot is our bus lot. You are prohibited from using that lot at any given time to pick-up or drop your child unless special arrangements have been made.
Please enter from Ludlow and pull in either of the two lanes along the south curb.
Cars in line will pick up students and safely vacate the car line by pulling forward past the main entrance making a LEFT (at the stop sign) as you travel north towards Beth Harman Blvd.
If you choose to park, walk towards the drop-off/pick-up area and escort your child safely to your vehicle.
