Dismissal Procedures - Updates
General Information
If you are picking up your student after 1:45 PM, you will need to go through the car rider line. We will not be dismissing students from the office after this time.
Walkers
If you are walking your child to school or walking home with your child, please wait at the top of the sidewalk near the parking lot. Due to safety concerns we do not want people crossing through the buses on the bus loop in the morning and afternoon. Please have your orange pick up/car rider tag with you.
Car Riders
Please have your car rider tag displayed in your vehicle upon arrival. If someone else is picking up your child, they must have your car rider tag.Please note that the traffic pattern has changed to allow for a safer flow of traffic during arrival and dismissal. Please see the linked map below of the updated traffic pattern.
Lastly, vehicles are not permitted to park in the bus loop, which is located directly in front of the building.
Early Dismissal
All early dismissal requests must be submitted in writing to the classroom teacher. We cannot honor early dismissal requests via email or phone. Early dismissal will not occur after 1:45. This is a busy time as we prepare for dismissal.
