Pick up and Drop off Procedures
1) All pick up and drop off during arrival and dismissal must be in the pick up circle located on the right side of the parking lot. Drop off begins at 8:50 and pickup begins at 3:45.
2) Please stay in your car at all times. Staff will be there to open and close the doors for the students.
3) Do not drive around cars, the pick up and drop off line is one single line.
4) During the first week of school, we will be handing out placards you can post on your dashboard or visor. We ask that you use these to CLEARLY display your child's name at pick up. This will help the process to move quickly and efficiently.
5) If you are first in line, please pull all the way to the beginning of the line.
6) Please do not leave your child unattended in the drop off circle. The staff does not begin their pick up procedures until 8:50 am.
