PICK UP LOOP INFORMATION FOR DISMISSAL
Please don’t leave large gaps in between your car and the next car. Place your "pick up" sign with your child’s last name & their teacher's last name on the dashboard on the passenger side. Please let your teacher know if you need a new sign or additional signs for alternate drivers. Students who exit the main entrance are for car pick up only. If you would like to get out of your car to buckle a student or avoid the line, your child is a "walker." Please ask for a blue "walker" sign and plan to meet your child at the “walker” area by the West gym exit door. Car pick up drivers are asked to remain seated in their vehicles for everyone's safety. A staff member on the sidewalk will help your child into your vehicle. Place car seats or booster seats in the passenger side back seat. It is not safe for your child to walk around your vehicle to enter the driver's side because there is traffic in both lanes. CES starts dismissing car riders before CUES. This allows us time to match your child to the correct vehicle. You are allowed to drive in the left lane to pass the cars waiting at CUES.
