Car riders will be dropped off at arrival and released at dismissal from the back of the building at CMS. Only buses are allowed in the front entrance during arrival and dismissal.

Cars will enter from Quality Court in the industrial park behind the school. From Quality Court, turn right onto the access road next to the football field. Cars will then turn right into the parking lot and split into 2 lanes (blue arrows).  At the end of the parking lot there will be a white stop line where cars will feed back into one lane. We will have a staff member directing the flow back into one lane and follow the red line to drop students off along the sidewalk. Please pull all the way forward. Cars will then exit back on the access road towards Quality Court.
