Pick-Up and Drop-Off Map
KTMS uses a single entrance and single exit system for our parking lot. We use this system to keep our students and staff safe during morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up. All vehicles must enter at the north entrance (the intersection of 192nd Street and Kenwood Trail). School vehicles are the only exception to this requirement. All vehicles must exit at the south exit. The south exit is used as the exit and entrance for all school buses and school vans. Drivers should be prepared to wait for the buses and vans to pass by.
- See maps of the parking lot traffic plan here.
