Drop-off, Dismissal, Carpool, and Bus Procedures

The staff realizes that on the first day of school and for a few weeks to come, students and parents will be getting used to a new routine as well as new faces. The homeroom teachers will work closely with the children to guide and direct them safely around our campus. Please follow specific carpool procedures given by your homeroom teachers and use the following schedule as a general guide during arrival and dismissal hours.

Daily Bus Riders

Daily bus riders will be dropped off and picked up at the front of the school. Students must be registered through the Business Office to ride the bus.

PLEASE do not park your car in the driveway areas used for carpools or buses. It is a safety hazard for our children to go around parked cars to find their vehicles, and it slows the safe flow of traffic for everyone. If you must park, please use one of the parking spots in the upper parking lot.
