MAGNOLIA WELCOMES NEW TEACHERS AND STAFF

LET’S TALK DROP-OFF AND PICK- UP PROCEDURES! Doors and gates will open at 7:30. For the safety of your child, please do not drop them off early. Central has two drop-off and pick-up sites, the Parent Lane and Academy Street. The procedure is the same for both of these sites. They are pull through only, no parking, and no double lines. Pull over to the curb, and have your child ready to exit (on the curb side) once you come to a complete stop. To keep the lines flowing smoothly, we ask that you pull up as far as possible in order for students to exit from multiple vehicles at one time. The Parent Lane is located at the front of the school and is ONE WAY, entering from the end closest to Magnolia Middle School. Academy Street is located on the side of the school, and is also ONE WAY during school hours. You enter from the front of the school on East North Street. The Bus Lane is located at the back of the school, and students cannot be dropped off or picked up in this area. We know this is a lot of information, but faculty and staff will be available to help.

It is time for Back to School Information! Bells Will Be Ringing Monday Morning! Please make every effort to have your child to school on time, and for them to remain in school for the entire school day if possible.
