CAR DROP-OFF & PICK-UP

NOTE from the Principals:

We want to thank you all for partnering with us as we continue to fine-tune our pick-up and drop-off process. Working together, we have made progress in safely and efficiently getting students connected to their families in the car pick-up line. 


We are working to improve and address our compliance with city regulations in the east parking lot. This parking lot is not for parent pick-up or drop-off, except for preschool families.


The east parking lot is only for busses and staff parking. To help our community follow this process we will be putting up more signage and moving over more staff to help communicate family/parent pick-up or drop-off should only be happening at the west parking lot.


Pre-K car tags will be provided to our preschool families and are needed to enter the east parking lot area. The tag will be distributed by preschool teachers. 


Additionally, to help alleviate the backup on 24th Street during pick-up times, cars should pull up all the way around the car pick-up line near and past the fire station. As always, please let us know if you have any questions.
