Student Safety During Student Pick-Up
Thank you for helping us keep our students safe and ensuring that our dismissal process runs smoothly and efficiently. Please review the following pick-up procedures:
Please pick up your student in the designated pick-up area in front of the school office. This is the safest and most efficient location for student dismissal.
Please do not park in the school parking lot and ask your student to walk across the parking lot to meet you. This creates a significant safety concern for students and families, as well as for vehicles moving through the pick-up line. It can also slow the dismissal process and create additional traffic on campus.
Please do not pick up students along Olive Vista Drive. Olive Vista Drive is not a designated student pick-up area. For your child’s safety, please use the designated pick-up line in front of the school office.
Thank you for your cooperation and partnership in following these procedures. Your attention to these expectations helps us provide a safe and orderly dismissal for all of our students and families.
