Car Riders
Q. What if I choose to take my child to school myself?
A. Please contact your local school prior to the beginning of school to determine where you may safely drop off and pick up your child. Each school has very specific traffic flow patterns for the safety of all of our students. You will also learn what time students may enter the building and when they will be deemed tardy to school. Contact your school office for more details. -
Check In/ Check Out Procedures
What are the procedures for checking a student in late to school, or checking a student out early? Parents or guardians must check their child out through the front office of the school. No child will be allowed to leave campus without the express consent of their parent or guardian. Early checkouts are discouraged; however, in the case of a medical necessity, it is requested that a doctor's note is submitted to the office the next day. Please check with your school to learn more about their policies.
