UPDATED END of Day Dismissal for students who do not take the bus home
For safety reasons, beginning February 24, 2020, Coyote Car Riders will begin between 2:45 and 2:50. Parent Pick-Up will begin between 2:55 and 3:00 or as soon as Car Rider Pick-Up is over. Parents who do not utilize Coyote Car Riders will be asked to remain in their vehicles until after Car Rider Pick-Up. Parents will then be allowed to enter the lobby to sign-out their students.
We need your cooperation to make this new procedure work smoothly. Currently the lobby is extremely congested at the end of the day which makes it difficult for adults and students leaving and entering the building. Our prime objective is student safety and the security of our school. To that end, we want to ensure that students are able to safely navigate the lobby and are being released to the appropriate adults, that adults seeking to leave the building are able to do so with relative ease, that visitors entering the building have access to the security desk and the security desk has a clear view of those entering, and in the event of an emergency the lobby is accessible to emergency personnel.
