Parent Pick up and Drop off
Thank you for being patient with us with the change of parent pick up and drop off. We are still revising it daily to improve. Here are few items that will help with change.
The morning drop off is very smooth and we are continuing to work on the pick up in the afternoon.
Parent Drop Off:
*If you are the first car, please pull around to the flagged cone.
*Pull as close to the car in front of you as possible.
*You may enter the drop off line from either direction from H highway in the morning.
*For morning drop off, students can begin exiting the cars at 7:30, please do not let your child out of the car until 7:30 when staff supervision begins.
*Any child arriving after 7:55 am, must be signed into the elementary office by a parent or guardian. The back door automatically locks at 7:55 am.
Parent Pick Up:
*If you are the first car, please pull around to the flagged cone.
*Pull as close to the car in front of you as possible to get as many cars as possible off the highway.
*Students will begin exiting the building at 3:01.
*If you regularly pick up your child at the end of the day, please have your car rider sign visible.
*Students will be loading in groups with the first 6 - 7 cars in the circle drive; once loaded that group of cars will pull out with the next group pulling all the way forward to the flag.

All students earn Dragon Dollars and have the opportunity to shop at our Dragon Store. Class Dragon Dollars are also earned for the entire class being respectful, responsible, and safe. Our hope is to teach students how to be responsible, respectful, and safe while they are at school or home.
