To keep all students safe, please do not drop children off before staff are on duty (7:15 AM for breakfast; 7:25 AM for general arrival). 

Safety First in the Car Line

• Stay in a single-file line in the right lane.

• For everyone's safety, never pass other cars in line.

Dismissal:

Early dismissal (checking students out early) ends promptly at 2:15 pm, as teachers, staff, and office staff must begin preparations for school-wide student dismissal. If you need to check your student out early, please do so before this time. 

All guardians must have a Car Tag to retrieve their students during dismissal.  In the event the Car Tag is forgotten or unavailable, the parent or guardian will be directed to drive to the front of the school, park in the parking lot, and bring a valid ID (driver’s license, state ID, or passport) to enter the building where the student may be signed out.  Please note the following dismissal information below:

• 3:00 : 1st - 5th Grade Car Riders - (dismissed from the front car rider lines in front of the building; 2 car lines for dismissal; remain in car at all times)

• 3:00 : Pre-K, Kinder, AFS, and PABS (& their siblings) Car Riders - (dismissed from the back of the building in loading/unloading circle near back parking lot; 2 car lines for dismissal at the curb; remain in car at all times. Please do not block the exit lane.)

• 3:00 : Supervised Walkers - (dismissed from doors at the back of the building near the gym/playground area)

• 3:00 : Unsupervised Walkers - For any student who has permission to walk home without a parent or guardian, the Patriot Unsupervised Walker Permission Form must be completed.  Click HERE to complete the Patriot Unsupervised Walker Permission Form.

Please note that no students may be dismissed as a car rider unless the car is in the designated car line.
