Car Rider Dismissal

Car Rider Dismissal

We will start dismissing at 3:35 pm.


Parents you are doing a great job. Thank you for being so patient as we move through the process of dismissal.


Please make sure we are respecting our neighbors. Please do not block driveways.


Car Tags- Make sure you have the number facing out the windshield so that we can get the number as you are coming into the carline.

Walker and Independent Walker Dismissal

We have two different options for our walker students.


Walker students - These students are getting picked up by a guardian that has a number placard. These parents need to be on the sidewalk with the number placard so we can see the number. That way we can call the number and release the student to the parent.


Independent Walker students - These students are being released without a guardian present. They will always be dismissed in sibling groups if they have siblings. If you are a parent who is waiting for an independent walker we ask you to stand on the walking path in front of the garden, separate from the parents who are waiting with their number placards. You did a great job of doing this last week. Thank you.


Parents who forget their numbered placard will be asked to go to the main office to show ID.


Please remember to respect our neighbors. Please do not walk on the grass of our neighbor's homes.

Where's the bus App

Where's the bus App

  • Wouldn’t it be great if you could learn the exact location of your child’s bus, and what time it will arrive at their stop? Red Clay has an app for that! WheresTheBusTM allows families to follow the progress of the bus before it arrives at the student’s assigned stop. Knowing when the bus will arrive translates into peace of mind for parents. Mornings are less hectic and stressful for families when you eliminate the bus stop rush and uncertainty of wondering when the bus will arrive. Families can minimize waiting outside in inclement weather while enjoying more family time together.


  • The app also allows parents to see in real-time where the bus is and when their student checked in on the bus and off of the bus. This allows parents to know that the student has arrived at school in the morning and returned home in the afternoon.


Signing up is free, and takes less than 5 minutes.
