Morning Drop-Off

  • Parents will enter and exit the car line on Shorter Street from either the east or west side.
  • The stadium parking lot gate will be unlocked for access. Traffic flows down the west side of the lot, with drop-off on the southwest side of campus near the bike rack.
  • The first car should pull up to the end of the sidewalk before students exit their vehicles.
  • Please note: there is no supervision before 7:40 a.m. The car line closes at 8:10 a.m. Students arriving after 8:10 must enter through the front doors.

Afternoon Pickup

  • Car line runs from 3:20–3:45 p.m. and opens at 2:30 p.m.
  • After 3:45 p.m., students will be escorted to the main entrance to contact parents and wait for pickup.
  • Parents needing to enter the school should use the Celtic Drive entrance.

Important Reminders

  • Everyone must follow the official car line route for safety.
  • The car line is one lane only. No vehicle should pass another. This helps prevent collisions and keeps students safe while entering or exiting vehicles.
  • Do not drop off or pick up on Garner Road or in the JMS teacher or MCS Central Office parking lot. These areas are not supervised and create unsafe traffic flow.
  • Please remember—everyone has somewhere to be, and our staff is working efficiently to get students safely on and off campus.

Safety is our top priority—thank you for your cooperation in keeping our students safe.
