Arrival and Dismissal

Arrival:

Car riders will enter from the front of the building. Car riders may enter at 8:05 and may wait in the front lobby area until 8:20. At 8:20 students will report directly to homerooms. Safety Patrol will be on duty beginning at 8:20 to open car doors. When dropping off your car rider, please only use the lane closest to the building. DO NOT use the outside lane to drop off your child! Please pull up to the line so that several students can get out of their cars at once. AS SOON AS YOUR CAR IS STOPPED, YOUR CHILD SHOULD QUICKLY EXIT THE VEHICLE. Please make sure that your child has his/her backpack and everything he/she will need for the day by the time your car stops in order to make this process as efficient as possible and so that we do not back up traffic. If you need to accompany your child into the building, you should park in a designated parking spot. Bus Riders will enter through the back doors near the cafeteria.

Dismissal:

Car riders will be dismissed at 3:35. Car riders will wait quietly in an assigned section based on the first letter of their last name.

Parents/guardians entering the car loading area should form two lines. Parents/guardians will pull up between the white lines at the front and end of the covered walkway. Parents/guardians must have a white paper plate in the window of their car with their student’s name printed in large letters. The last name of the child should be at the top of the plate with the child/children’s names underneath. The letters should be printed in the appropriate color as assigned in the following sections of the alphabet.

  • A-D (red)
  • E-H (orange)
  • I-M (yellow)
  • N-R (green)
  • S-T (blue)
  • U-Z (purple)

Parents will receive one labeled paper plate created by the homeroom teacher. Parents are responsible for making additional paper plates for all of those who may be picking up the child/children. ANYONE WHO PICKS UP YOUR CHILD/CHILDREN MUST HAVE A PAPER PLATE…NO EXCEPTIONS!!! School personnel will collect the paper plates from the parent/guardian. They will then gather the child/children from their designated areas along with the plate/plates and bring them to the cars. When all students in the loading area are in their vehicles, school personnel will change the STOP sign at the front of the line to GO as a signal for cars to exit slowly from the car loading area so the next group can pull forward and follow the same procedure.

A few important notes for parents:

PARENTS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO PARK ON EITHER SIDE OF THE BUILDING TO PICK UP THEIR CHILD/CHILDREN. This will result in an un-excused early dismissal for your child/children! If you have been a Parent Volunteer during the school day, of course you will be allowed to exit the parking lot. Please leave your Volunteer sticker on for identification.

To ensure the security of each child, parents/guardians without a paper plate will be unable to pick up their child/children in the carpool line. Parents without paper plates will be re-directed to a parking area and must report to the office to sign a log-out sheet for their child’s/children’s release.

IT IS NOT OUR GOAL TO INCONVENIENCE ANYONE…IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO DISMISS YOUR CHILDREN SAFELY!
