Morning and afternoon arrival and dismissal arevery important times. We only have the safety of your children in mind. Because of these intentions, we ask everyone to follow certain rules:

Morning Carline Procedures: Carline begins in the morning at 7:20. Students should not be dropped off prior to 7:20. Staff members are not in place to properly supervise students before this time. Children being brought to school should be let out of their cars in the loading/unloading zone outside of the gymnasium and cafeteria. Children should not be let off anywhere else during the morning car rider time. The front of the school is strictly for buses and school personnel until 8:00 AM. Students should arrive by 7:40. After 7:50, students will be counted tardy if they have not made it to their rooms. Upon entering the building, all students will report to their designated area:

Kindergarten—K-1 Building

                        First Grade—K-1 Building or Main Hall

                        Second Grade—Gymnasium

                        Third Grade—Gymnasium

The final tardy bell is at 7:50, and students are to be in their room and settled to start their day. For the carline to run smoothly, please have your child ready to get out of your vehicle when you stop. Unload students from the right side of the vehicle so students may walk to the sidewalk without crossing traffic. Students are to exit their vehicle and walk along the sidewalk. No cell phones are to be used in carline for safety reasons. We are a smoke free campus, and we ask that you refrain from smoking in carline. Please observe our rules with the goal of student safety first and efficient traffic flow second.

Afternoon Carline Procedures:

In the afternoon, we ask the children to sit down either on the benches or sidewalk under the awning area. We like for them to sit so when their number is called, they will be ready to load. We ask that each driver move down as far as possible before we load the children. Parents are asked to stay in their vehicles when picking up children. It creates confusion when parents are trying to pick up children from the sidewalk. Do not leave your vehicle unattended in the car-rider line. Always display your car-rider number daily! This number will be distributed during Meet Your Teacher. Teach the number immediately to your child to help speed up the afternoon loading. When loading, please pull your vehicle up as far as possible so other vehicles may load at the same time. Load students from the right side of the vehicle so students may walk from the sidewalk without crossing traffic. Students will not be allowed to walk to their vehicle before it arrives at the designated pick-up point. Please do not arrange off-campus car pick-up. This is dangerous and causes pick-up problems. Children must be picked up prior to 3:05 if they are not in the After School Care Program.

A FEW THINGS TO REMEMBER:

• Display your car-rider number. If you do not have one, please contact the office at 626-2424.
• Proceed with caution when picking up your child in the car-rider line.
• We are a smoke free campus, and we ask that you refrain from smoking in carline.
• Please be patient.
• No cell phones are to be used in carline for safety reasons.

The first day of school is August 14, 2019.
