AM Car Rider Reminders
• Staff will be on the sidewalk to supervise students exiting their cars, beginning at 7:45. Please do not allow your child to exit the car until a member of the staff is present.
• It is very important to be courteous to other drivers. Also, please drive carefully and put your phone away to ensure the safety of our students and staff.
• Staff will wave you forward and will let you know when it is safe for your student to exit the car.
• Car rider staff will only assist your child in exiting the car if needed. Please make sure your child is able to unbuckle their seatbelt and open the car door independently.
• At 8:10, staff will proceed to walk back to their classrooms. If you miss the window, you must park and come inside to check your child in.
• On rainy days, you can anticipate a longer car rider line.
PM Car Rider Reminders
• If afternoon car rider is not your child’s “usual” transportation, their classroom teacher will need a handwritten note from a parent/guardian that allows them to be car riders for that afternoon (E-mails and phone calls are not accepted). If the classroom teacher does not receive a handwritten note, your child will need to go home their usual way.
• Car Riders must be picked up no later than 3:10 pm. We will walk “late” students to the front office and reach out to a parent/guardian. You will need to pick up your child from the front office and sign a “late” form.
• Please hang your 2022-2023 car rider tag in your rearview mirror.
• Please be patient with us as we are trying to locate and load car riders every afternoon. Also, please practice reciting car rider numbers with your child so that we can load them as quickly and safely as possible! Thank you for your help and cooperation!
