Car Rider Information/Reminders for the Afternoon:
1. Please treat the intersection beside the baseball field as a four-way stop.
2. Car riders in second, third, fourth, and fifth grades without a younger sibling will be picked up on the bus side (right side of the building) immediately following the release of buses. Please wait at the top of the hill until you are waved forward by a staff member.
3. Car riders in pre-K, kindergarten, and first grade, along with their older siblings, will need to follow the road that weaves in front of the school to pick up their child on the playground side of the building.
4. Cars must have a new 24-25 car to pick up a child from the car rider line. If you do not receive a new 24-25 car tag number during Open House, you must come to the office to get one before dismissal begins at 2:20.
