Valet begins promptly at 8:40 am
VALET SERVICE- Drive to the next available spot on the valet line. Staff will direct cars and buses in a calm and organized manner. Remain in your car at all times. Please be patient. You will be directed to pull through the parking lot towards the Playground then in front of the building by a staff member. Please pull up behind the car in front of you, unlock your car doors and have your child ready to exit on the right side of the vehicle with his or her backpack within reach. School staff will assist children exiting your vehicle and escort them into the building. Once students enter the building, they will be supervised by staff and escorted to their classrooms.
Due to the configuration of the SD parking lot, valet drop off is the safest and most convenient option. Do not park your car and cross the parking lot with your child. Please use the valet.
