Morning and Afternoon Car Line
As all face to face students will be back in the building this week, expect delays in the morning and afternoon car line, and please plan accordingly.
NEW: You may use both lanes in the morning, just like we do in the afternoon. Begin the "zipper method" merging at the same point in line that the afternoon zipper merge starts. (We will have staff members directing this week.)
You may drop off in the front car line OR the bus loop.
Always exit from cars along the sidewalk curb. At no time are children to exit from the left side of the vehicle.
Please have students ready when they reach the unloading zone. Use your time in the line to find a mask and get it on, gather book bag and lunch box, put on jackets, etc. The quicker our students exit vehicles, the quicker the line will move.
At no time should children be dropped off in the parking lot or sent across the crosswalk alone. An adult is required to walk the student ALL THE WAY ACROSS the crosswalk for your students' safety.
Parents and drivers should not leave their vehicle to assist with unloading or unbuckling students.
In the afternoon, parents and drivers should not leave their vehicle to assist with buckling students. If you need to assist your child with buckling, please move up to the gold cone. If you need to exit the vehicle for this, please pull into a parking space for your safety.
Please have car tags displayed in afternoon car line until your child is loaded.
