Car Rider Information

  • For the 2023-2024 school year, it is mandatory for all students being picked up by car at dismissal to have a car rider tag prominently displayed. This measure is implemented to ensure the safety and security of all our students during the dismissal process. Cars without a car rider tag will be asked to park ​so the person picking up the student can show office ​staff their ​identification at ​dismissal. 

    Car rider tags help our staff swiftly identify authorized individuals and vehicles, streamlining the dismissal procedure while maintaining a secure environment. It's a crucial step in ensuring that every child is safely accounted for and placed in the care of the right person.

    If you need to order a car rider tag for your student, please click HERE. If you need a replacement, you can click on the previous link or comment on this message with your student's name and grade level. We appreciate your cooperation in adhering to this policy and prioritizing the safety of our students.

    Thank you for your continued support and partnership in keeping our school community safe.

    • Cones will be placed to indicate the drop-off zone. Drop off only in the designated area. 
    • Pull forward as far as possible (while still in the drop-off zone).

    • Dismissal is at 3:00. Parents/guardians are expected to be in line at this time. After 3:25 PM parents/guardians will need to park and enter the building to sign their students out late. This is a safety issue; there will be no staff available to supervise students after 3:25. 
    • Car-rider students will be given a carpool tag. This tag needs to be displayed in the car each day. Cars without a car rider tag will be asked to park and enter the building with a photo ID to sign their student out. This is for the safety of our students.
    • Students will be held inside the building until their name is called by a staff member. Once their name is called, they will exit the building.
    • Cones will be set up as designated pick-up spots. Your child will be directed to a cone. Please pull forward to that cone and stop to allow your child to enter the car. 
    • If your child needs help buckling their seat belt, we ask that you please pull through the pick-up zone and park in a parking spot to assist them.
