Drop off/Pick Up Procedures

General Information

• Students may not be dropped off before 7:30 a.m.  If arriving before that time, students must remain in the car until the doors open.
• Tardy bell rings at 8:00 am. 
• Transportation changes (between car or bus rider) must be made prior to 2:00 p.m. 
• Student bus stops may only be changed when a parent/guardian brings proof of residence to the office and makes a permanent change. (No one-day or short-term changes.)
• Anyone checking out students in the office must bring a photo ID and be on the student's approved pick-up list.

Car Line Procedures

***Anyone picking up students must display their Student Pick-Up Sign. (These will be provided in the first week of school.) If the adult picking up the child does not have a Student Pick-Up Sign, they will be required to come to the main office doors and use their photo ID to check the child out. This is for the safety of our students.  All parents picking up students must travel through the car pick-up line.***
