Parking Lot Rules

Your adherence to the following guidelines is necessary to ensure the safe and orderly drop-off and pickup of students. Your cooperation is vital to making this a success.

Arrival

  • Pre-K students:  Parents and students will enter through the Pre-K door.  Students must be signed in by a parent/guardian in their classrooms.
  • K-5th students: Elementary Main Doors (Red)
  • 6-8th students: Enter the doors closest to the Middle School hallway.  
  • High School students: Enter through the front yellow doors

Dismissal

  • Pre-K students: Front hallway through the Pre-K doors. Parents / guardians must come up to the door and sign their student out.
  • K-1st students: Pickup is at the Pre-K entrance door
  • 2nd-3rd students: Pickup is at the kindergarten classroom doors near the high school
  • 4th and 5th students: Pickup is at the red main doors. 
  • High school students: Dismissed through the front yellow doors

*If students need to be picked up early for early release, those parents/guardians must enter the main office and sign their student out. This dismissal process should be utilized on an as needed basis, based on emergency or medical needs only. This should not be a daily means for pick-up. Each office will close an hour before dismissal; therefore, there is no early pick up during the last hour of the school day.
