Parents may start dropping off students as early as 7:00 AM. Please do not drop students off before this time, as there is no adult supervision. Follow either the red stars (left) or white stars (middle) as you enter to drop off. Once you have picked a star lane, please do not switch lanes.
School ends at 2:15, at which time students will be dismissed. Please have your Car Tag displayed in your windshield before you get to "The Rock" at our school's entry. A staff member will check for you Car Tag and will call for your child to be dismissed to the Car Line.
If your child is not there when you get to the front of the line, drive forward and park. We ask that you park in or near the handicap parking spots. This allows for the line behind you to continue moving, and your child to be safely directed to your car when they exit the building.
These tags are displayed in the windshield of the car that will be picking up your child, and only apply to the school year in which they are issued. These help us notify your child that their ride home has arrived! Each family will be issued 2 sheets of car tags. If you need additional tags during the year, please contact the Main Office.
Don't worry! We won't be keeping your child overnight if you forgot your car tag. Just park and come into the front office with your photo ID, and we will call for the student(s) you're picking up.
Buses are subject to arrive 10 minutes before or after their scheduled time. Please make sure your student is ready and waiting when the bus arrives to pick them up in the morning.
Visit the GCS Transportation Website for more information.
Bus riders will enter the school through the exterior cafeteria doors and will be greeted by a member of our friendly staff each day! In the afternoons, students will be dismissed to their buses when they arrive.
You will attach the Book Bag Tag to your child’s book bag. This will allow staff to quickly identify your child’s name, transportation method home, teacher, etc. This will also allow us to properly greet our new and returning students by name and ensure they make it to their teacher’s class.
Each year, we want to know who is authorized to pick up your child from school. You will put that information on this card for us to keep in the front office.
