We will begin the dismissal process at 2:55.

Kinder-5th Grade Car Dismissal: We will dismiss from the cafeteria beginning at 3:00 PM (earlier the first few days of school). Cars will pull up to the designated spaces as directed by staff and we will load 8 cars at a time. We will bring students to their car so the driver can remain in the car. We cannot release students to cars that do not have their 2023-2024 Hawk car tag hanging in the rearview window.

Walkers: Walkers will exit from the back of the building out the hallway exits (in between Hawk and Crownover) and walk home. Student and family walkers are asked to use the crosswalk between schools. The parking lot and drives between Hawk and Crownover are closed to cars for walker safety. Please do not pick students up by car in this area

Pre-K Car Dismissal: PK students plus their older siblings will be dismissed by car at the front of the building out the music hallway exit. Cars will pull up to the designated spaces as directed by staff in a single line along the curb for a few cars to be loaded at a time. We cannot release students to cars that do not have their 2023-2024 Hawk car tag hanging in the rearview window.

As a reminder, all visitors to Hawk Elementary, even at dismissal time, need to go through the front office for a visitor's badge. Entry into any other doors other than the office doors for visitors is not allowed at arrival, during the school day, or at dismissal.
