Hello DMS Chieftains,
On Monday, March 15th we will be initiating a new option for our families who drop their child off in the morning. This is being done to help relieve some of the traffic people are experiencing on Riverside Dr. To accomplish this goal, we are opening up our back parking lot for families who wish to park and wait for our doors to open at 7:20 am. To assist you in avoiding getting caught between our buses when exiting, we have designated an area for parents to make use of which can be viewed in the provided image. Please note our recommended traffic flow diagram for this process. As always, we appreciate your patience and cooperation.
Thank you for your support.
