Carpool Lane Arrival and Dismissal Procedures
Please see the carpool lane arrival and dismissal procedures below. For more detailed information about other arrival and dismissal procedures, please see the attached information.
Morning Arrival:
- Please pull your car all the way forward to the end of the loop, come to a complete stop, and allow students to exit the vehicle. Pulling all the way forward will help to alleviate the back up onto Silver Springs Drive, particularly on the days that it is cold, rainy, or snowy.
- Have your child(ren) kissed and ready to exit the vehicle when you reach the unloading zone. Please stay in your car. Only children should exit the vehicle. Students should only exit the vehicle on the passenger side.
- The second bell (tardy) rings at 8:46 a.m. and all doors will be locked. If you arrive after this time, you must park your car and sign your child(ren) into school at the front office.
Afternoon Dismissal:
- Please pull your car all the way forward to the end of the loop, come to a complete stop, and allow students to get into the vehicle. Pulling all the way forward will help to alleviate the back up onto Silver Springs Drive, particularly on the days that it is cold, snowy, or rainy.
- Display your Family Name Card on the right side of your dashboard for easy recognition.
- Pick up your child(ren) in the designated loading zone only.
- Do not exit your vehicle to load your child(ren) as these are moving loading zones only.
Here's to a safe and seamless arrival and dismissal.

Girls on the Run
ATTENTION PARENTS OF 3rd-5th grade girls
NOTE: I AM IN NEED OF ANOTHER PARENT WHO CAN ATTEND PRACTICES AND THE 5K
I am interested in re-establishing a Girls on the Run (GOTR) program at Silver Springs.
GOTR is a program run by local YMCAs. The focus is to inspire girls to be on the move, be healthy, and focus on their well-being. Please see the link below for more information about GOTR.
The fall season begins on September 17th and ends on Sunday, November 18th with a 5k run on Belle Isle.
Practice sessions would be at Silver Springs immediately after school 2 days per week. (Monday and Thursday) from 3:45-5:00pm.
From the GOTR website:
Registration Fee: Building confidence and setting young girls down the path of a healthy lifestyle is PRICELESS! However, there are real costs associated with operating a non-profit organization and delivering the Girls on the Run program to approximately 1,900+ girls in the Southeastern Michigan area each year. Registration is $165* per girl and includes:
- 20 ninety-minute sessions conducted by certified GOTR volunteer coaches
- Curriculum and lesson materials
- A healthy snack at each session
- Official GOTR T-shirt and water bottle
- 5K Registration fee
- 5K Medal
- Post 5k celebration
*scholarships are available
