Drop-Off and Pick-Up Procedures
With the new transportation procedures for the 2023-24 school year, we have updated our drop-off and pick-up plan. We have attached the plan for the upcoming school year.
Buses will now drop off and pick up at the upper lot (main entrance). Vehicles will drop off in the lower lot (former bus loop). Students that are walking or riding their bikes to school will continue to enter the upper lot (main entrance). Students can arrive at school starting at 7:40 and the school day begins at 8:00.
If you are dropping your child off through the vehicle line, please note that you can not turn left from Sycamore Street into the lower parking lot. Vehicles must approach the lower lot on Sycamore St. heading east to west (from College Ave. /Brown Rd.) and then exit heading east to west toward Locust. There will be cones in the middle of Sycamore Street to prevent left-hand turns in and out of the lower lot. We have worked with the Oxford Police Department to keep everyone safe and to keep traffic moving for picking up and dropping off the students.
Drop-Off and Pick-Up Procedures
We have had some TSD families organize a carpooling central. I know this has been shared on social media, but here is a link to the information.
