Arrival Time: Teams may arrive between 2:30 pm and 3:00 pm or after 3:30 pm. Please do not arrive between 3:00 and 3:30 due to the traffic during school dismissal.
Buses: Bus Drop Off: Buses MUST drop off athletes on the south end of the building on School St. by the Tennis Courts (image below). DO NOT enter or park in the Tennis Court Parking lot. Due to our dismissal time, adding extra traffic in our main lot will cause problems for everyone! If your bus is staying, it MUST park in the municipal parking lot across Hillside from the main lot. (The $2 fee will not be charged for parking)
Emergency: In the event of severe weather, please enter the building and head to the Field House immediately.
