The Mustang Connection

Welcome to the 2023-2024 School Year!! We are so excited to see each of our scholars for the first day of school! Below you will find links to the individual dismissal locations by grade level and teacher. Please pay close attention to the dismissal location based on your student's grade level as well as their teacher. Also, please remember that older siblings will go to their younger sibling's classroom so that there will be one dismissal location. Please do not drive into the Faculty/Staff parking lot to pick up scholars.

Elementary students will enter the building using the front entrance. All students will be directed to the auditorium prior to breakfast. Elementary car line students will exit the building with their teachers who will dismiss them to your car.

Middle school students will enter the building via the sidewalk on Lone Oak so that they come in on their designated hallway. All middle school students who arrive after the tardy bell (8:05am) must enter the building using the front entrance.

Contact the Student Transportation Services Customer Care Team. They are available to answer transportation inquiries from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

To reach one of the professional customer care team members, please use the Let's Talk Platform or for more immediate response, call 972-925-4287.
