Drop Off / Pick Up Procedures
For both drop-off and pick-up, please enter the campus from the north side via Wilson Street and follow the one-way loop. Continue through to Barona Way and exit onto La Mesa Boulevard. Do not enter, drive through, or park in the alley at any time.
To help ensure student safety and smooth traffic flow:
Remain in a single line along the right side of the loop during drop-off and pick-up.
Do not pass other vehicles unless directed by a staff member.
Stay in your vehicle — students should enter and exit the car on their own.
If you need to park and walk your child in or out:
Park legally on Wilson Street or Barona Way.
Walking through the loop lane creates unsafe conditions for students and drivers.
We appreciate your patience and cooperation in helping keep our students safe.
