Clarification on student parking: The spaces are lined, but the spot numbers have not been painted yet. Parking remains first-come, first-served until numbering is complete. See you tomorrow!
The student parking lot is officially repaved! Line painting for the numbered spots is delayed. Until the painting is complete, student parking will be on a first-come, first-served basis. Please also keep in mind that the unpaved bus lot is reserved for staff only. We appreciate your patience and flexibility with these temporary arrangements. We will update everyone as we make progress to completion.
