Important Pick Up and Drop Off Information
- The building will not be open until 7:15am. Please do not drop your students off in the morning before this time. There is no one to supervise them.
- The front loop is reserved for buses and daycare vans. Car riders should be dropped off in the north loop. There are staff members to assist your child in getting out of the car and into the building safely.
- Please do not drop your children off on Wylie Road, as crossing a road with so much traffic can be very hazardous for our students.
- Car Riders - Please be sure you have your car rider tag hanging from your rear view mirror. Please write your child's grade on the tag. Please stay in your vehicle we will bring your child to your car.
- The north loop is very congested during afternoon pickup. The Norman Police Department requests that all cars approach the circle drive by going east on Camden Way. Then, pull into the west side of circle drive, forming two lanes. The Norman Police Department respectfully requests that we not enter the circle drive heading west on Camden Way. Entering from the west blocks the intersection and flow of traffic at Camden & Wylie.
- The north car pick up loop is a one way loop. Please do not enter through the exit for any reason.
- Please be sure that you are following all traffic laws during dismissal. Please do not enter the exit, drive on the wrong side of the road on Camden, or park in the drive through lanes. Thank you for helping us keep parents and students safe during dismissal.
- Parent Walk Up from the south side of the gym is used if you plan to get out of your car to pick up your child. Please park on one of the residential streets that allows street parking, walk up to the south gym doors, and your students will be released to you. Please do not pick up your student from the car rider area on foot.
