If you did not like the pictures that you purchased, you can return them for a retake and receive the same package.
Traffic & Parking Concerns
REMINDERS FOR CAR RIDER DROP-OFF & PICK-UP
- REMEMBER RIGHT TURN ONLY OUT OF THE CAR RIDER LINE & PARKING LOT
- Please remember to enter the car rider line at Round Rock Ranch & Meister Lane by the horse stables.
- Please be kind to the neighbors that live near Gattis. Please do not block their driveways.
- Please DO NOT block cross streets (along Round Rock Ranch Blvd) - when you do this, it keeps people from leaving their neighborhood and getting to work. Allow people coming from the neighborhood to exit & take turns getting in line if they are coming to drop off their child - just like you took turns when entering the OLD car rider line.
- Please escort your children to the building - don't drop them off in the parking lot.
- Please keep your children close to you when in the parking lot, especially at dismissal.
- Please DO NOT block other cars when picking up your children - IF THERE IS A CONE NEAR - PLEASE DO NOT PARK THERE
- Please leave cones where they are placed - don't move them to make a parking space.
- PLEASE look all directions when backing out of a space. Take turns!
ARRIVAL - if you arrive after 7:40 in the morning - students must be dropped off in the front of the school.
DISMISSAL - We bring all students into the building by 3:05 or when the last car has pulled through the line. You will need to come to the front of the school and sign your child out in the office. Please make every effort to pick your child up on time.
