-If you would like to park and pick up your students you can park across the street in the St. Theresa's parking lot in front of our school. Students that get picked up in this way go out the front doors and you can wait for them there or they can walk across the street to you.

If you are picking up a student or students after school from the West Doors (parking lot) please follow these instructions:
-Go down Dagle and make a right turn into our parking lot. That is the direction of the line and that is the place you need to go to get into line.

-We only drive on the right side of the parking lot for safety purposes. No driving on the left side until all cars from the car line are done picking up their students.
