JES Arrival and Pick-up

Mt. Lebanon is a walking school district. Please be aware that there is an increased amount of traffic around the building during arrival and dismissal times. Student safety is of utmost importance which is why we have established arrival and dismissal procedures. When you are dropping off or picking up your child please adhere to these procedures, stay alert, and be patient. It is our goal to make sure that all students arrive to and from school safely. Students are tardy if they arrive after 8:35.
