Afternoon Pick Up Procedures
To safely and efficiently dismiss over 400 students after school, please review the procedures on the back of the yellow car sign. When driving through the pick-up line, please display your yellow car sign and pull all the way forward. Teachers and volunteers will be on hand to direct you. Please do not at any time leave your car in the dismissal line.
Display your yellow car sign in the front window of your car and we will bring your child to you.
If you choose to walk to the pick-up area, please park in the parking lot and use the crosswalk. Your child will be waiting behind the first letter of their last name. You may walk over to pick your child up from this area. Your child will not be allowed to cross the traffic area even if you are parked and waiting for them, so please use the crosswalk.
Lastly, please review with your child which side of the building you will be picking them up. If you live off Glade, please pick up on the front of the building by the tiger. If you live off of Hall-Johnson, please use the bus loop side of the building to pick up your child. Daily reviewing this with your child will save time in the afternoon as we locate your child.
Forget-Me-Not Table
If you need to drop off an iPad, glasses, or other valuable item, please bring it directly into the office for safekeeping.
