Arrival-Student Drop-off
*Refer to Student Handbook
Dismissal- Student Pick-up
Students are dismissed at 2:50 p.m. Parents picking up their children will line up on the North side (6th Street) until students are released to their vehicles. It is very important that each car in line pulls forward as far as possible so that the greatest number of cars can be loaded at one time. Do not attempt to pass in the loading area unless directed to do so by duty staff. Students will be released to parents, in vehicles, only in the parent pick up line. Please note: The line moves quickly, but if you would like to wait until 3 p.m. the line is much faster with little wait time. When the line clears, students are brought up to the front office to await pick-up.
