🚗 Arrival & Dismissal Procedures Reminders
We’re excited to welcome everyone back! To ensure a smooth and safe start and end to each day, please review our updated arrival and dismissal procedures.
✅ Clear signage will guide traffic flow
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Safety is our top priority—thank you for your cooperation!

Remember that if you have a child in 3rd, 4th, or 5th grade they will come out for dismissal a little later than your K, 1, and 2 students so if you have a student in each grouping you may want to come a little later in the dismissal time.

Also, remember the car line will be longer to start the year, but will get quicker after a week or so-Please be patient.
