Drop-off/Dismissal Info

Student Safety is our main priority at Browning. To avoid having traffic congestion and students walking between cars in front of the school on Northwood St. , parents may use the round driveway in front of the school to drop off or pick up their students. Between 7 and 8 AM and 2:30 and 3:30 PM, parents may use the church parking lot to get out and pick up or drop off students as well. No students will be dismissed to cars on Northwood St to avoid any accidents. Parents are encouraged to take advantage of the driveway in front of the school or use the church parking lot.

Remember: SAFETY FIRST!
