Each school day, the car line is open from 7:00 am – 7:45 am. Cars enter car line by accessing Dalmatian Drive from Skylyn Drive. Signage on campus will direct drivers on how to enter and exit carline. This should always be done in a single line so that you don’t block opposing traffic.
In the mornings, an administrator will guide students on when to exit their cars, and, so that we may have a safe and efficient car line, we ask that you and your students please be alert to and abide by these instructions. We also respectfully ask that students be ready to exit their vehicles rather than packing bookbags, putting on shoes, getting hair done, asking for papers to be signed, etc. Though these disruptions may seem small, they can add up to significant delays.
With the exception of tardies, all student drop offs must occur in the car line.
Each morning, our tardy bell rings at 7:45. Students arriving after that time must be accompanied by a parent to sign them into the office. This occurs at the front of the school rather than in car line.
Afternoon pick-up by car is also at the back of the school. Dismissal begins at 2:30, and students are called to their cars by number. If your car doesn’t have a number, we will pull you to the side to verify that a child is supposed to go to you. We recognize that this is an inconvenience but hope that you will understand that it is only for the safety of your children. As with morning car line, we ask that you please be alert to and follow the instructions of school personnel.
Unless they are enrolled in Boys & Girls Club, students must be picked up from school by 3:00 pm each school day.
There is visitor parking at the front of the school, and there are two parking lots beside the school.
