Thank you for bearing with us as we implement our new drop-off and pick-up procedures at Talkington! For both, please pull up ALL the way to Door 6 (last cone). This will ensure the line doesn't back up as much. For pick-up, it would be helpful to have a sheet of paper with your student's name and grade level in BOLD so we can circulate the name.

Hello, Talkington parents! This year, we have changed the student drop-off and pick-up procedure at Talkington to improve safety and traffic concerns. We will now drop off on the south side of campus instead of in front of campus: https://youtu.be/Iml_1EwMtEU
