IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT WALKERS
- Students riding bicycles are considered walkers
- Students who walk from school to their homes or parents' nearby employment are walkers
Students are not walkers if they are walking to the parking lot to be picked up by a parent in their car. These are car riders and car riders must use the car rider pick up line for dismissal. If you do not wish to wait, you can line up around 3:00 or 3:05 PM to avoid a longer wait time in the parent line.
Also, remember that dismissal begins with our Littles first and upper grades come out behind them.
Keep in mind, wait times will be slightly longer on the first few days due to the newness and students learning dismissal procedures. Thank you for your patience. You are the best parents!
