Car Rider Loop Procedures
1. Do not park on the grass median at the car rider loop. If you are caught parking on the grass, you will be asked by the admin team to remove your car and precede in line with all the other parents.
2. When you approach the car rider loop, please drive and stop at the END of the line. If parents stop at the beginning of the line, it stops the traffic flow on Hood Road and Hornets Nest Road.
3. When turning on Hornets Nest Road, parents should be in the right lane. If you are in the left lane, we will ask you to drive pass the car rider loop and make a U-turn at Mandarin Oaks Elementary. As a result, you will now be in the car rider loop lane heading north on Hornets Nest Road.

An unexcused tardy exists when a student is not in his/her seat when the bell rings. Excessive unexcused tardies will be subject to disciplinary actions. Students are only allowed four unexcused tardies in a 9 week period. When a student earns a fifth tardy within a 9 week period, a tardy referral will be processed. If a student is late to class, they will receive a tardy in student services which is located in the media center.
