Arrival and Dismissal Procedures & Map

Please take time to read this very important document.

🍋 Morning Car Line: Please remember that the car rider line is ONE line in the morning.

🍋 Afternoon Car Line: The line will form into TWO lines in the afternoon. Please follow staff directions as you enter the car rider line.

🍋 Please do not park in front of the school while the car rider line is moving. This creates a safety concern and can interfere with the flow of traffic. If the line is moving, please remain in the car rider line.

🍋 Walkers: Parents, if you do not see a police officer assisting students with crossing the street, PLEASE walk your child across the street. Student safety is our top priority!

Thank you for your patience, cooperation, and help keeping our South Stars ⭐ safe! 💛🍋

If you arrive after 8:25am please make sure to walk your child into the office and sign them in before they go to class.
