Drop-off and End of Day Dismissal Reminder
Just a reminder to parents and guardians that we have various modes available for student pickup. Please utilize the most appropriate pick-up method for your student.
Drop-off: Please make sure your student is not being dropped off on Maple St. That is not a drop-off location. Please make sure students are being taken to the main elementary entrance.
Dismissal: We begin dismissal at 2:50pm and make our way to where students need to go at the end of the day. All students should be dismissed by 3:00pm. If your students pick-up mode needs to be changed, please change it on the app OR call the office by 2:15pm. The office has the ability to change it on the PikMyKid platform. I have to follow what PikMyKid says at the end of the day.

Secondary Walker: Walking to the middle/high school to parent/guardian/approved pick-up person.
