• If you are parking and walking your child up to the building, do not park in the spaces by the drop off line.  Be sure to use the crosswalks to get across the car line.  Parents are not allowed to walk their children to their classrooms. Staff is in the hallways to ensure each child gets to their classroom. 
• If you are in the car line, stay in your car until a teacher opens the car door and lets your child out. Keep your child belted in the car until this time.  For safety, teachers will open only the right passenger side door and your child must exit the vehicle from this door.  Exit the car line as soon as the car in front of you moves and you can safely pull forward.  Do not go around a stopped car.
• If you arrive after the doors have closed, you must drive to the front of the school, park in the side parking lot, and sign your child in at the office.  The front loop is for bus traffic only.

• If you are parking and meeting your child at the door, do not park in the spaces by the drop off line.  Cross at the crosswalk and stand outside the back door with your car rider tag.  Your child will be called and delivered to you.  Stop at the crosswalk until the safety guard indicates it is safe to cross.  If you do not have your car tag, you must go to the front office to sign your child out.  Be sure to bring in proper ID to sign your child out.
• If you are waiting for your child in the car line, please follow these steps to guarantee the safety of your child and the teachers:
