For Car Riders - See the Image Below

Mornings:
  • Before 7:30AM, students must remain in their cars.
  • The car rider line forms in front of the school building, two rows of cars that narrow at the turn-around to one line at the curb.
  • Car line drop-off begins at 7:30AM when staff come outside to assist students.
  • Students must exit the car on the curb side only.
  • Car line drop-off will end when the car line has emptied.
  • If you are running late to join the car line and there is no adult staff outside to supervise your student, you must walk your student in to the Main Office and sign them in.

Please keep our kids safe! Be patient and stay alert.

Afternoons:

  • The car rider line forms in the same way as the morning.
  • Please wait in your car as our staff calls for your students to come to you.
  • Car line pick-up will begin at 2:10PM.
