Arrival and Dismissal

Bus routes should now be available for all students that registered for a bus route before August 2nd. Students that were registered for a bus after August 2nd, may not be placed on a bus roster for going home before September 9th.

• School doors open at 7:05 AM - please do not leave your student(s) unattended until they are received by school staff.
• Parents and guardians may use any route to access the school entrance round-about.
• Students will be greeted in the car rider lane and we ask that students are ready to go and on the passenger side while parents/guardians remain in the vehicle. If you plan to park on the street and walk your student(s), it is your responsibility to ensure that you walk them completely to the cafeteria to be received by school staff. It is an extreme safety concern for students to walk alone during the busy drop-off times.
• Students living in the neighborhood are allowed to ride their bikes to campus and secure them to a rack with their own lock. Please ensure your student understands bike safety and the importance of being alert.
• Once students are in the building, they may have breakfast in the cafeteria or proceed to their designated grade level pickup area. Teachers will pick up their classes beginning at 7:25 AM.
• Morning drop-off at the cafeteria ends at 7:35 AM and students will then need to enter through the front office entrance. After 7:35 AM, parents must walk their student(s) inside the front office to sign them in.
• Tardies will begin counting this week as our morning traffic continues to improve. Any student arriving after 7:35 will be counted tardy.

Students will not be released to anyone who walks up to the doors during our dismissal time due to safety. Parents and guardians may either utilize the carpool pickup lane, bus transportation, or dedicate their student(s) as walkers if they reside within 2 miles of the campus. Students that are walkers will need to stay with/behind the teacher leading the walking groups, please do not call your student out of the line before they reach you. Students should not enter the road before a staff member is present.

• Parents and guardians are expected to access the school entrance on the round-about highlighted by the purple pathway on the map below - the route indicated from Old Bastrop Rd. to Snowbell St. to William Moon have proven to be more efficient and allows emergency response teams easy access to the school, if necessary. Please be courteous of other parents by following these procedures. Please do NOT enter the carpool line through Esplanade Parkway, Van Horn Trace, or any other alternative route.
• Parents and guardians must have an official car tag issued from the school visible in order to pick up your student(s) from the carpool lane, beginning on the second day of school. Parents that attended Meet the Teacher received their car tag, everyone else will get one tag on the fist day. Beginning on August 20th if you do not have your car tag, you must proceed to front office and show ID to receive your student(s).

• Staff members will be escorting our walkers, who reside in the neighborhood, to the designated areas below. One group will be led to William Moon Way (Group 1), followed by the others, who will head towards Esplanade Parkway (Group 2). Please refrain from walking up to the school so that our staff may get all students to these areas safely.
• Students that are walkers will need to stay with/behind the teacher leading the walking groups, please do not call your student out of the line before they reach you. Students should not enter the road before a staff member is present.
• Parents meeting the Walkers should be ready to present their pickup tag to staff. Please do not have students come to your car, please park and step out of your car to meet your student.
