Arrival and Dismissal
All students will bring home two colored car tags specific to this school year, so please dispose of any previous car tags. Even if your child typically rides a bus or attends After-School Care, please hang on to your tags in the event you do need to pick your student up in the carline.
If your child does not bring car tags home by Friday, August 16th, please reach out to the classroom teacher. If you lose your tags or need more than 2 additional car tags, they can be purchased online for $1 at: https://www.myschoolbucks.com/ver2/getmain.action
MORNING CARLINE PROCEDURES:
- Student drop-off begins at 7:10 and ends at 7:50

AFTERNOON CARLINE PROCEDURES :
- Student dismissal begins at 2:50 and ends at 3:30.

DISPLAY CAR TAG(S) IN FRONT WINDOW
- If you are in the inside lane closest to the building, display a tag on the driver's side.
- If you are in the outside lane closest to the road display tag on the passenger side.
- Car Tags should be flipped over to show the smiley face once the car is loaded. This lets the MES staff know you are ready to move.
Use the PikMyKid App to announce your child(ren)
- Students will only be loaded into the passenger car for safety reasons.
- Students remaining at 3:30 will be walked to the front office.
ALL parents must use the PikMyKid App to announce their child(ren). If you do not announce your child(ren) before someone gets to your vehicle, you will be asked to do so. If the person on duty has to locate your name/number in the app, this can create a delay in the carline. This is also a safety feature that ensures only those people delegated by you can pick up your child(ren).
If you need assistance with the app, please reach out to our front office or you may also contact PikMyKid directly. They can help you with loading the app, general use of the app, changing your dismissal, and delegations.
We appreciate your patience this week! Carlines are typically longer at the start of the year until we get things rolling and everyone learns the processes.
Please note that vehicles will not begin moving until we start the process of unloading (7:10 am) and loading (2:50 pm).
Again, we also ask that you please do not pull over onto the grass across the street from the school in the AM or PM. This creates a dangerous situation as non-school-related traffic attempts to pass. We are in a school zone and some delay is expected.
If the carline is not working out with your schedule, please contact our office or your child's teacher and we can get you set up on a bus.
