Drivers Eligibility Certificates (DECs): We need at least two business days to process Drivers Eligibility Certificates. Please keep this in mind as you plan appointments at the DMV. Requests for a DEC must be accompanied by evidence of an appointment at the DMV, as DECs are only valid for 30 days from the date that the school issues them to the date of the DMV appointment.

Forms: These are most commonly requested forms at the beginning of the year. Students must turn in a new form each year.
-
Off Campus Lunch Form (11th and 12th grade only)
-
Permission to Self Check-Out for Morrisville Shuttle (if shuttle comes before 2:05)
Student Handbook: Here is our student handbook. Much of what students and parents need throughout the year is referenced in the handbook.
New and Experienced Carpool Users (Including families that use bus transportation): With bus transportation being somewhat unreliable, there will likely be new drivers in the carpool loop that are unfamiliar with our process. Given this, we ask all families to familiarize themselves with our processes for carpool:
-
Videos that explain our process
-
Be sure you are always entering and exiting campus at the light at the intersection of Watkins Road and Chapel Hill Road.
-
As you line up in the queue prior to dismissal, cars should line up in both lanes and zipper merge (like you would in a double-laned fast-food drive through line).
-
We ask that everyone be careful of their speed once on campus and be watchful of pedestrians and other vehicles.
-
Be patient with each other. It may be someone's first time picking up in carpool and they are unsure of the process.
-
Drop off and pick up is always at the main entrance to the Lilly Building. Do not drop off students at any other location on campus, including the parking lot unless parents are coming into the building.
-
Watch for pedestrians that may be crossing the street in places other than crosswalks.
-
Watch your speed.
-
Pull all the forward and close the gap between cars.
Thank you for your patience and understanding of our protocols as we work to keep things safe and efficient.
Afternoon Carpool Pickup: Unless students are in a supervised after school activity (e.g., 5th Period), students should be picked up by 2:15. Students are not allowed to hang out on campus unless under the direct supervision of a teacher for an after-school activity.
-
Carpool students needing pick-up after 2:15: Students are allowed to walk off campus to the adjacent shopping center (with coffee shops) with parental permission. Use this form to give permission. Please note that the form should be signed by both student and one parent in the presence of an office staff member. Come to the front office for assistance. If this is not possible, the form should be notarized.
-
Public Transportation: Some students utilize public transportation (e.g., Morrisville Shuttle), which picks up on campus. Students must wait for the shuttle at the designated bus stop. Pick up times vary in the afternoon and on occasion, it picks up a few minutes before our dismissal. If you would like to authorize your student to take advantage of a pick-up before the end of the school day, please complete this form and we will keep it on file. The student just needs to check out in the office before leaving. Please note that the form should be signed by both student and one parent in the presence of an office staff member. Come to the front office for assistance. If this is not possible, the form should be notarized.
Wake Tech Warn: Wake Tech WARN is the official emergency alert system of Wake Technical Community College and is used to distribute critical emergency information. In the event of an emergency or inclement weather situation, Wake Tech WARN allows the college to notify students, staff, and registered community members. Parents should go to this link to register for alerts. If you have registered for this previously, you do not need to register again.
