11/8/21 – Please find a better way to keep parents out of the student parking lot. There are far too many of them at the end of the day and the overcrowding makes trying to get out of the lot as a student extremely stressful and borderline dangerous. They should not be allowed into the parking lot when not even half of our grade can get a pass to park in there. They can use the circle like everyone else. – Student
A. Campus security monitors the situation daily.

This has been asked before so please give us an accurate response. – Parent
