Our campus is under construction throughout this school year.
Parking in the main lot at the school is limited as we are currently working through an expansion project. There will be overflow parking available in the dirt lot that sits on the east side of the school grounds. It is across Main St. from our current parking lot. If someone needs dropped off closer to the building, feel free to access the bus lane to drop off, but park in marked spots or in the overflow parking lot. We appreciate your understanding as we continue to improve our campus and facilities. Please email gedson@weldonvalley.org if you have any questions or concerns.
