Bus Loading and Car Riders: Arrival and Departure

For Bus Riders (Behind the Old Gym):

• At the dismissal bell, report to the bus-loading zone and get on your bus or remain behind the red line until your bus arrives.

• We have several different bus loads. Pay attention to buses as they come. 

• Listen for daily announcements or check Remind for any bus changes.

• Remember: Riding the bus is a privilege. You can lose your bus privileges if you don’t follow the rules.

For Car Riders (Roundabouts at Gate 2 & 3):

• Morning Drop-Off: Use the front roundabouts for drop-off. Do not get dropped off in any other area in the morning. The car rider line can get pretty backed up, so avoid arriving at the last minute to prevent delays and traffic jams.

• Afternoon Pick-Up: When the dismissal bell rings, go directly to the front roundabouts for pick-up. Do not linger in the building or get picked up in any other area.

• Pay attention to when your ride arrives and exit immediately.

• All car riders should be picked up no later than 4:00 PM each day.

Following these guidelines helps ensure a smooth and safe arrival and departure for everyone.
