We are now using Numbers 1 - 10 for dismissal. Please pull your car as far forward as possible as you are getting close to the front of the line to pick up your child.

Parents should not exit cars to walk up to the front to pick up children in the carline area.

Please remain in carline so that we can keep the line moving as quickly as possible.

To help improve traffic flow and safety, no right or left turns will be allowed from Mastin Lake onto Porter Street during carline times:

• Morning: 7:15 – 8:05

• Afternoon: 2:45 – 3:30

Thank you for your cooperation!

Enter the carline through the neighborhood – cars should line up on Porter Street. You can get to Porter Street by turning onto Greenhill Dr NW off of Pulaski Pike or by turning onto several streets off of Sparkman Drive.

Please do not enter carline from Mastin Lake – you will need to enter through the neighborhood behind the school and get in the line with the other cars.

Please note that there is a sign above the turn lane on Mastin Lake that prohibits Left Turns onto Porter Drive and starting Monday, August 18, 2025 the Porter street will be blocked off with cones so there will be no right or left turn onto Porter Street from Mastin Lake.

Please practice with your child so that they can exit your car independently.

• Parents should remain in their vehicle and students should exit on the passenger side.
• Students should have belongings (backpack, lunchbox, etc.) ready to exit the car.
• Please pull forward as far as possible.
• Do not allow students to exit if you are not in the carline lane.

If your child needs extensive assistance to exit your car, please park in the parking lot, help them exit, and walk them to the front awning.

Students should not be dropped off before 7:30 a.m. There is no supervision for your child before 7:30 a.m.

These procedures need to be followed so that carline is safe for all students and adults.
