PARKING REMINDERS
In order to keep our families and students safe, please make sure to follow all posted parking signs and regulations in the parking garage and the parking lots.
EAST PARKING GARAGE - PARK AND WALK
In the East parking garage (front of building), all traffic is one way. Do not reverse your vehicles to go down the garage ramps. Please do not park in the handicap parking spot for any length of time unless you have a state handicap tag. Do not stop and drop off students in the East parking garage. You must park on that side and walk in.
WEST PARKING GARAGE - DRIVE AND DROP
In the West parking garage (back of building), please do not park where the signs are posted "No Parking." This side of the parking garage is for door pick up, so keep the traffic moving by not parking in the restricted areas.
OUTER DRIVE OF BUILDING - ONE WAY
This drive is one way when driving back to the front of the building. Please drive around the back of the building to return to the front. This helps keep traffic flow safely moving.
