Car Rider Drop-off, Pickup & Walkers
- All Car Riders should drive to the front of NFES off of Motter Ave.
- For your child's safety, please only allow your child to exit the car when you have pulled up in front of NFES.
- Please do not drop off your car rider at any location other than in front of NFES with our staff. Please do not park along Fairview or Motter to drop-off your child.
Car Rider Pick-Up
- Please pull up to the curb in front of NFES to pick up your child at dismissal between 2:50 and 3:15. We do not want students walking where there is no sidewalk or NFES staff member.
- Please do not park along Fairview or Motter to pick-up your child. Only walkers will be dismissed to these locations.
How can you help our car line move more efficiently?
In the Morning:
- Say your goodbyes prior to a staff member opening your door
- Shoes should be on and backpacks should be ready to grab
- Please do not allow your child to unload until a staff member opens the door
In the Afternoon:
- Please stay off your cell phone while in the car rider line
- Please follow staff directions and pull all the way up
- Parents should not get out of the car. If you have a younger child who needs to be buckled, please pull all the way up so we don't hold up the line.
Walkers
Walkers will be dismissed between 3:00-3:10. Please only list your child as a walker if they will be walking home. Please do not list your child as a walker if you are planning to drive to pick them up. Safety first! We want your child to be supervised until you can get to them. You can pick up as a car rider between the hours of 2:55-3:15 daily. Students who are assigned a bus, should not be listed as a walker. Parents may choose to list them as car riders.
Bus Riders
Bus stop information will be available on August 12th. Please check bus information using this link - https://www.fcps.org/transportation/bus-stop-information-online
