Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How will the Durgee bus loop be impacted by the change in traffic pattern?

A: The direction of the Durgee bus loop will remain the same. Busses will line up in front of Durgee and release students curbside. The only change will be the way busses enter the loop. Instead of entering from Albert Palmer Drive busses will enter the loop from the Baker side of campus.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: When will we receive a supply list?A: Students should have the following basic supplies for the first day: pen, pencil, paper. Each teacher will discuss his/her specific supply list the first day of school. Q: What time does the building open?A: Doors open at 7:35. If your student is a walker please time his/her arrival with this in mind. We do not have an indoor holding area where students can wait.

Frequently Asked Questions
