Afternoon Pickup Information: Thank you for your patience as we all adjust to the new traffic pattern. To help alleviate congestion in the afternoons, we kindly ask that everyone turn right when exiting McCollum onto Porter Street. Left turns are significantly slowing down the flow of traffic, causing delays for all drivers. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in helping us keep traffic moving smoothly. Please remember, Panther Drive is still accessible, and there is a turn-around available at the gym. If possible, we also recommend waiting until 3:20 PM to pick up your student. By this time, all buses will be off-campus, and the front loop, Panther Drive, and McCollum will be fully accessible, allowing you to safely and efficiently pick up your student. Thank you for your continued cooperation!
