Car Rider Arrival & Dismissal:

Arrival - Cars may line up by the curb in the lower lot in a single file line.  Please wait until 7:45 am, when the staff on duty will signal you to begin unloading students at the sidewalk.  Arrival time is from 7:45 - 8:10 a.m.  Instruction begins with the bell that sounds at 8:15 am.

Dismissal - In the afternoon, cars should form two lanes through the U-shaped parking lot.  The assigned numbers of the first 7-8 cars in the lane closest to the curb will be called, and those children will walk out to their cars.  When they are all loaded, that lane will leave, and the numbers will be called for the second lane.  When this lane of cars leaves, the car monitors will signal for the remaining cars to pull forward.  Please pay attention to these monitors.  They are in place to keep your children safe.

The SAFETY of your children is the driving force behind these procedures.
