MORNING DRIVE-UP DROP-OFF PROCEDURES

This is a friendly reminder about our morning drive-up drop-off procedures to help ensure a safe and efficient arrival for all students.

The drive-up lane is designed for quick drop-off only, where students are able to exit the vehicle independently. To keep the line moving smoothly and to reduce safety concerns, we ask that families follow these expectations:

Please remain in your vehicle at all times while in the drive-up lane.
Vehicles should not park, turn off engines, or stop for extended periods in the drop-off line.
Students should be ready to exit promptly once the vehicle reaches the drop-off area.
If your child needs assistance getting out of the car or walking to the building, please park in the lot and escort them safely to the entrance.

These procedures are important to minimize delays and, most importantly, to keep all students and families safe during our busiest arrival time.

Thank you for your cooperation and support as we work together to maintain a smooth and safe morning routine for everyone. 🐾
