Car Rider Dismissal
We have been able to start car rider dismissal by 3:15 every day and by 3:45 we are finished. Once we have loaded all the cars we will do an all call for all car riders to join us outside. Since we are getting done earlier, please make adjustments to come pick up your students up by 3:45pm
You can help us by:
- Driving slowly in our parking lot and giving us your undivided attention
- Cutting on the dotted lines and then hanging the sign on your rearview mirror
Writing your student’s name below the number in black marker. This will help once you get to the cone, we are not expecting students to know their numbers.
Rainy Day Biker/Walker Adjustments
Based on the feedback we got from parents and the staff we are going to make the following adjustments for Rainy Day Biker/Walker Dismissal:
- A parent or parent designee (someone you have shared your child's dismissal number with) may come to Door 3 or Door 15 to pick up students. We ask that parents monitor the weather and determine when it is safe for them to come to school to get their student. In the meantime, they are safe inside and will be here whenever it is safe for you to come.
- After we are done with car rider and the weather has cleared up, we will release all remaining bikers/walkers to walk home. If at that time the weather hasn't cleared up, we will make phone calls.
