This is a reminder to all student drivers. In order to drive to school, all students must have a parking pass. Information can be found in the office and each pass costs $5. Students who do not have a pass on file and are driving may have driving privileges revoked. Also, as we get closer to bad weather and slick roads please take time to be responsible in the parking lots and slow down when entering Bear Lane. Drivers who choose to do donuts in the parking lot or other reckless behavior will result in suspension of driving for the semester.
