They carry their lunches and backpacks with them during line-up On rainy days, please go to the cafeteria. If your student arrives after 8:40 AM they must come to the office and get a late pass. They must bring this pass with them to class, so please make sure they go to the office and not straight to class. Drop Off There are two gates to the school: One on the west side of the school, on Funston Ave, and one on the east side of the school, on 12th Ave. All other gates are to be kept closed during the day for safety reasons.
