Drop off/Pick up Reminders
- When bringing your children in the morning, please remember to get in line with all the cars. You should not be parking on Holdridge and walking them to the door. We are trying to keep kids safe. They need to utilize the crosswalk.
- If you arrive to school later than 9:05am, you will need to park and bring your child(ren) into the office to sign them into school.
- When picking up your child(ren) you will need to present an ID at the office at the time of pick up.
- Early pick ups need to be called into the office and arrive before 3:15pm in order to not interfere with the end of the day dismissal of all students.
- If you arrive later than 3:55pm, you will have to enter the office with a photo ID in order to pick up your child(ren). You can present your Driveline number in place of your ID at this time as well. We will dispatch the students as soon as we see the number or ID.
Driveline Pick up Update
If you have not received a number and you are a frequent pick up, please contact the office to get your child(ren) matching numbers to help make the pick up process run smoothly. If you are picking up your child(ren) some of the time, please reach out to the office to still get a number assigned. It is important to have a number assigned to you as soon as possible in those instances. If you do not have your number in your car or on you when walking, you will be asked to park/leave line and enter the office with a photo id in order to get a temporary number for that day only! We are trying to keep every child safe at all times. We are loving this new system and the efficiency. Please let us know your thoughts about it. We value your feedback.
