Hello Joppa Community!
We are making changes to the drop off and pick up routine at Joppa-Maple Grove that will start Wednesday, October 18. These changes are being made to increase safety measures. I have included a map to help clarify.
* Joppa Jr/Sr High car riders will be dropped off and picked up at the main entrance of the school building.
* Buses will enter on the south side of the parking lot. They will be the only vehicles allowed to go behind the building.
* Elementary car riders will now be picked up and dropped off at the gym lobby. (If you have children at both levels, they can be picked up and dropped off at the gym lobby. JHS students will walk the sidewalk to the front entrance.)
* Elementary buses will drop off and pick up on the south corner of the gym.
* Joppa Jr/Sr High students will be dropped off and picked up at the West Central doorway by Mrs. Bellemey's classroom. (The door on the opposite side of the main entrance.)
Please help us by donating blood on October 16 from 1:15-6:15 in the JHS cafeteria.
