ARRIVAL & DISMISSAL REMINDERS - SAFETY FIRST


BUS LANE
Parking Lot
Arrival & Dismissal
Please do not enter the bus lane when a bus is present. This applies during late arrivals and early dismissals as well.

We know many families choose to drive their students to and from school, which adds to congestion in the parking lot. If your student rides a bus route, please consider using the bus to help ease traffic.

To keep arrival and dismissal safe and moving smoothly:
  • Have your student ready to exit the car when staff approach.
  • If your child uses a car seat, please place it behind the passenger seat when possible. This helps staff assist your child and reduces the need for students to cross between cars.
  • Do not block the school driveway while waiting in line.
  • Please do not pass other cars unless a staff member directs you to do so.
  • Be patient and watch carefully for other vehicles, pedestrians, and staff.

Thank you for helping us set a safe and efficient tone for arrival and dismissal.
Thank you for your cooperation and patience.
