🚗 Arrival & Dismissal Reminders

Arrival

• Families of car riders should use the car rider drop-off lane.
• At 9:00 a.m., our School Resource Officer and staff members will walk along the sidewalk and open passenger-side doors so students can safely exit.
• Please stay in your vehicle. Do not get out or leave your car in the drop-off lane. This creates a traffic jam.
• If you need to visit the front office, please park in the parking lot and enter the building.
• Students arriving after 9:15 a.m. must be walked to the front office by a family member and signed in as tardy.

Dismissal

• Families must park in the parking lot, not in the drop-off lane.
• Please line up outside the front doors with your student’s car rider number.
• Doors will open at 3:55 p.m.
• Show the car rider number to our School Resource Officer, Deputy Dixon.
• Enter the gym and follow the loop until you see your child.
• Continue walking along the loop and exit through the opposite door.
• A staff member will match your student’s car rider number with the tag on their backpack before the student leaves.
