University Parents and Guardians- We need your help! We are seeing an increase of unsupervised students before 7am. Only parents of cheerleaders helping with carpool are allowed to wait in their cars in front of the school before 7am. No children allowed to be dropped off until duty people arrive at 7am. Carpool and fast pass are the only approved drop off areas for parents. Do NOT drop students off in the parking lot, street, or apartment complex. This is dangerous. Staying off your cell phone helps keep the lines moving
