School Office Email

The office is defining an “occasional” pick up as a spontaneous pick up, not a regularly scheduled pickup. Because Office Staff will be in the dismissal process,  please contact the office by 1:30 p.m. to add your child to the pick up list. Due to our procedure and to ensure the safety of all children, there will be NO exceptions to the 1:30 rule. 

• Parents will be given a sign to hang from your car mirror with the student’s last name. It will be color coded for your pick up time. This sign serves as “permission” for your child to enter into the vehicle. Please make sure the sign is in the appropriate car for pick up.  

• Any students added to the pickup list will be added in the last time slot.  Parents must call the office by 1:30 p.m. to change transportation. 
• Please enter the parking lot from Hanover Street.  Cars will line up in a row 7 or 8 across in 2 rows.  
• A staff member will direct you to where to park.  Please follow their directions.

• A staff member, with a safety vest, will be in the parking lot using the walkie talkies to call students down in the first row, then call the second row.  Students will then be escorted to the designated car by staff members.  
• When everyone is in their car, another staff member, with a safety vest, will release the row to exit on 2nd Street and then the second row will pull up and repeat the process.  

• Then the next group of cars can follow in behind to make another row.
