AM DROP OFF PROCEDURES

Just a reminder when dropping off in the morning, please make sure you loop all the way around the West parking lot (just like in the afternoon for pick up). We have many parents trying to cut through the parking lot and it is causing a backup on Southeastern Ave. We can get everyone in and through safely and in a timely manner by using the West End lot.

All order forms with payment (one check made out to St. John) need to be turned into the office by Friday, March 24th. Click here to see the student order form. Click here for the final order form.
