Student Arrival:

• Doors to the school open at 7:30 am. Students can eat breakfast or go to their appropriate holding area:
  • 6th Grade Auditorium
  • 7th and 8th Grade Gym
• We begin releasing students to their homeroom (1st period class) at 8:00 am.

• Dismissal will begin at 3:30
• You cannot turn left onto Middlebrook Pike from our parking lot.

• All car riders are picked up and dropped off on the Middlebrook side of the building unless other arrangements have been made with a student’s case manager.
• We cannot direct traffic on Middlebrook Pike. Parents dropping off students are to enter the Middlebrook lot by using the Westbound Lanes of Middlebrook Pike and turning right at the electronic Bearden Middle Marquis. Turning left from Middlebrook can be very difficult and traffic often backs up to the light at Francis Rd.
• Map of the Traffic Pattern
• You can park in the lot to pick up your child.
• Please do not have your child meet you in the driveway from Middlebrook Pike as that causes a danger for them and drivers around you. All students must be picked up in the parking lot at a parked vehicle or alongside the building.
• There can only be one lane of traffic entering the parking lot. Once you reach the point where the parking lot is on your left, you can form two lanes. The left lane will take you to the awning at the school entrance. The right lane will take you around the north side of the building where you can exit onto Francis Rd. You can pick up your child from either of these lanes once you reach the school building.
• Do not have your child meet you in the surrounding neighborhoods, businesses or apartment complexes. They often notify the school, and you can be ticketed/towed.
