Arrival and Dismissal

Arrival and Dismissal Times

7:20am – 7:40am – Student Arrival – All students should be at MHS by 7:40am (First Bell)

7:45am – Students report to homeroom/first period (students tardy after 7:45am, Second Bell)

Student Arrival Entrances

All students should enter the building from the Library Door Entrances or the Main Foyer entrance. All other entrances will not be accessible unless there is a student need.

Parent Pick Up and Drop Off

This year to alleviate traffic concerns we are implementing a new drop-off protocol. All student pick/drop-off will be at the West Courtyard by the library entrance in the morning and in the afternoon. Spaces will be labeled where parents/caregivers can park for an afternoon pick-up. No one should be parking in the fire lane loop in front of the school. That lane is for emergency purposes only and the curb is marked with yellow paint.
