Dismissal Procedures Reminder
All cars entering the car arrival or dismissal line should enter from the BULLSEYE LAKE ROAD entrance only. It is important that you only turn right into the drive. Once you have entered the drive, proceed to take your place in one of the double lines that will form down the driveway. This year we will continue the double line to the car loading zone. Your child will be sent to your car once it is safe to do so. Please do not get out of your car to help your child. We want to keep everyone safe at all times! Once your child is in the car you will proceed to Campbell Street where you will exit TURN RIGHT ONLY onto Campbell Street. Turning right on to Campbell Street is imperative. If people are waiting to turn left it causes the line to get backed up.
Our carline is very long. We ask that you not block any driveways on the surrounding streets and yield to the traffic on Bullseye Lake Rd. We understand that only turning right into the driveway is an inconvenience for some, however if we don’t adhere to this it causes a dangerous situation on Bullseye Lake Rd. The carline lasts about 15 minutes, so feel free to arrive any time before 3:30pm.
