Leopard Tales
CFKN - September 2022
Late Arrival Procedures
If you arrive at school after 7:40am and there is no adult on duty in the carpool loop, you need to park your vehicle and walk your child into the CFKN front office for their supervision and safety. Thank you in advance for your support in this matter.
- Tardies begin at 7:50am. An Adult will need to sign the student in at this time, using the Ident-A-Kid kiosk in the vestibule.
Excessive tardies will be reviewed under the choice option for attendance to a magnet program.
Carpool Reminders
Thank you for your continued patience as we continue to make adjustments in carpool to help alleviate traffic issues. As we focus on maximizing safety during carpool, CFKN families can further support these outcomes by following a few practices outlined below:
Arrival and Dismissal
- Arrive before 7:20 am and 2:20 pm to avoid middle school traffic.
- Muller utilizes our carpool lane to help lessen the traffic out on Muller Rd. For students not picked up before 2:45 pm, parents MUST park and walk in the front office to sign out their students.
- Please follow the traffic pattern shown below. There will be NO LEFT TURNS into the parking lot. Please remain in your vehicle and remain in line until you reach the front of the school. Students should not be walked across the parking lot, unless a parent/guardian has official business in the front office.
When in carpool:
- Ensure students are prepared to exit the car on the passenger side with their bookbags on and other belongings in hand before reaching the drop-off area.
- During dismissal, please be sure to display carpool tags in the front window, hanging from your visor as you enter, and until students are safely loaded in the vehicle.
- Please pull all the way forward in carpool (beyond the blue cone) to assist with carseats and seatbelts.
- We ask that drivers please refrain from cell phone use during carpool so that the safety of our children is not compromised.
