ALPHA PRIDE/ STEAM CARNIVAL
5TH & 6TH GRADE MORNING CAR LINE REMINDER
Morning Carline: In an attempt to make the morning carline quicker and more efficient, please ask your child to exit the car as soon as you reach the covered walkway (sidewalk) Many drivers are waiting to unload once they get all the way to the school entrance. This causes the people behind the driver/student who have already unloaded to continue to stop, making the carline less efficient. Please ask your child to exit the car on your FIRST stop upon reaching the covered sidewalk.
Thank you so much for your cooperation.
