There will be a binder in the front office.

Afternoon Walkers:

• Students will have a designated place to go after school. Students that walk towards 18th street a staff member will walk them a short way down the sidewalk so they can carefully pass where the cars are entering and exiting for the car rider line.
• Do not park on Cason street and walk to the building to pick up your student between 2:35-3:00
• If you drove to the school to pick up your child, use the car rider line.

Afternoon Car Rider Procedures:

• Each family will receive two bright green tags with a number that is linked to the child(ren) you are picking up. Those tags are for your car visor on the passenger side. Simply attach one with a rubber band or binder clip. If you do not display a green tag you will need to go to the front of the building and go to the office with your ID to receive a car tag and then return to the car line to retrieve your child.
  
• When you arrive in your car please enter at the yellow gates and follow the drive. We ask that you not enter this drive until 2:15. A barricade blocking the drive will remain in place until 2:15 when staff removes it. A staff member will stop you to verify who you are picking up and will radio ahead so that your child is ready.
• Pull up to the ‘Drop Off’ zone if you are the first car being loaded. This assists us in loading more than one car at a time.
• For safety reasons, have your child enter on the passenger side of the vehicle. DO NOT exit your vehicle to assist your child.
• As cars approach the student car rider line, a staff member will alert the student by calling his/her number. The student will proceed to the designated boarding area to be dismissed.
• While students are waiting in the gym, the noise level is to be quiet so each student can hear their number being called. Please help us by reminding your child of this matter.
• If a student is not ready for any reason, we may ask you to go around the parked cars and re-enter the car rider line. This keeps the flow of traffic moving as well as everyone safe.
• Keep the car-rider line moving. Do not stop to have a conversation with the car-rider staff. If you need to speak with your child’s teacher, you will need to call the school and set up an appointment or email your child’s teacher.

• To help the flow of traffic, please turn right towards 18th street.
