Information regarding Morning Drop-off at PHS:
Students should not be dropped off, or arrive before 7:00 a.m. (unless there is a practice arranged by a coach).
- Student drivers ONLY should enter our campus using the RIGHT lane. Those vehicles will turn RIGHT immediately after passing the brick Welcome Center and follow the back parking lot access road to the back parking lot. This is for student drivers ONLY.
- Parent drop-off, staff members, and buses all enter using the LEFT lane, which is closest to the Welcome Center. Parent Drop-off drivers should use the loop which is on the right. Entry to this loop can be found on the right immediately after the back parking lot access road.
- When parents use the RIGHT lane to enter the drop-off loop, it creates a real issue for those who are in the correct (LEFT) lane. We have had many "near misses" in this area. Please enter the correct (LEFT) lane when dropping students off in the mornings to ensure the safety of everyone.
- Once in the loop, either lane can be used to drop students off.
- Buses and Dual Enrollment/Work-based Learning student drivers use the first parking lot entry lane, which is the first entry past the parent loop. Staff members use any of the parking lot entry lanes to park in their designated area.
- Dropping students off at the Ag Center, Band Room, or any other location than the front entry of the school is not permitted.
Please help us by following these guidelines. Not only will it ensure a better traffic flow, but it will keep everyone as safe as possible.
