Students who drive themselves (and siblings) to school will remain at the reunification area until all other students have been picked up by parents/guardians. These students will then be escorted back to the campus to obtain their vehicle and leave. Students DO NOT need to return to campus after being picked up by the parent/guardian. We appreciate your help in conducting this safety drill. If you have questions, please contact the Junior-Senior High School Office at 432-426-4444.
