Car Rider Route
Our goal is to dismiss students in a safe and timely manner. We have a number dismissal system. Contact your child's teacher if you do not have a number. Please make sure your child's number is visible through your driver's side windshield.
The car rider line will start to move faster after the first week of school. All students should be picked up by 3:25
Please respect fellow Buist families and the surrounding community by following the correct car rider procedures.
