Lunches
Lunch space is not available inside the building. Outdoor and picnic-style areas are available on a first-come, first-served basis, weather permitting.
Coats & Backpacks
To reduce the number of lost and found items, we ask that all students leave coats and backpacks on the bus, if possible. We do not have storage areas for outerwear.
