• Parents are not allowed to enter the school building with their children. 
• Parents are only allowed to exit the lot by making a RIGHT turn. Turning left out of the parking lot is prohibited.
• At dismissal follow the same procedures by parking in the parent parking lot or overflow lot and walking up to the pick-up/drop off area outside Door #5. A staff member will bring your child outside to you. All people picking up must show an ID and be listed in the Infinite Campus Parent Portal. If anyone needs to be added, please call the main office (847)230-1700 prior to dismissal.
