Drop off and Pick up
- Pull all the way forward before unloading and loading students. Gaps in front of cars slows everything down.
- Please do not be on cell phones as you come through the valet. It is very dangerous.
- Please be kind to our crew moving you through the valet. Our goal is to help you, not harass you. We know you are in a hurry and we are doing everything we can to move you through safely and quickly.
- Pull all the way forward before unloading and loading students. Gaps in front of cars slows everything down.
- Do not come into the bus loop. It looks like a good idea, but the law requires us to keep it free of cars.
- Have your child gather all their things and exit quickly from the vehicle. If you have a lot to unload, please wait until you are at the end of the valet line to unload.
- Pull all the way forward before unloading and loading students. Gaps in front of cars slows everything down.
- At pick up, keep pulling forward.
For those of you choosing to drop off in the neighborhood, please be respectful of our neighbors.
- Do not block driveways or use them to turn around.
- Remind children to stay off property while they wait for you.
- No double parking.
Please follow all traffic laws including not stopping and dropping off in the bus area on May way. Deputies do ticket.
Please do not U-turn in front of the school.
We thank you for working positively with us to ensure drop off and pick up goes safely and smoothly.
Before and After School Supervision 8:00 am - 4:00 pm
Supervision is available after school until 4:00 pm. Students involved in an after-school activity that ends after 4:00 pm should have a ride waiting for them. Students who are left unsupervised will be prohibited from participating in after-school activities.
We understand that emergencies arise. Please have a backup plan ready for situations where your regular plan falls through or traffic causes you to be late.
The safety of your child is a priority for us. This is a shared responsibility. Please partner with us to ensure your child is well supervised and safe.
