Transportation Changes
Your child has a form of transportation assigned to them, you would have confirmed this at conferences held before school. We will send your child home that way every day. If you need to change transportation, please call 425-366-3500 by NOON.
NO LEFT TURN
Please remember there is NO LEFT TURN out of the school onto Picnic Point Rd during school hours. Please exit and turn right, you can turn left on 52nd to get back to Beverly Park Rd.
Parent Pickup and Drop Off
Please help us be efficient and safe during drop off and pickup.
- Stay in your car and pull forward around the loop. Students will be loaded once your car has pulled beyond the Big Toy.
- Students will be loaded into the passenger side of the car.
- Please Slow Down to 5 mph when driving around the loop. Safety First!
- We love your dogs! However, we have had some dogs act very aggressive when we are loading and unloading students. Please leave them at home or have them in a crate when dropping off or picking up students.
- NO LEFT HAND TURN out of the school onto Picnic Point Rd. You must turn right during school hours.
