Getting students to and from school safely and in a timely manner is of utmost importance to school personnel as well as parents. This daily task can only be accomplished with strict adherence to the following procedures:
- Parents must be in a car displaying a car rider tag with the student’s name and teacher’s name clearly written.
- Parents who do not have a car rider tag will have to pull over, enter the office, show ID and sign the student(s) out.
- For the safety of all, students will not be dismissed to persons who are not in a car and/or who don’t have car rider tag displayed.
