- Only the first five cars in line should unload at any given time.
- Please ensure that your child crosses around the front of your vehicle.
- Our Morning Care students are often on the field during this time period. Please proceed with caution.

Please contact Mr. Perna to register.
As a reminder, the building does not open until 7:30 am, please do not drop your students for off for Morning Care, Band and/or Chorus before that time.
Dismissal
Dismissal is at 3:05 PM. At that time, students who take the bus will be escorted to the auditorium to wait for their bus to be called. If you will pick your student up by car at the school you can pickup via our Express Line.
In particular, please remember that you may not take a right hand turn into the Queen Street Entrance from Queen Street. You must enter by making a left hand turn into the lot approaching from Crescent Street.
Please observe the no parking signs which are located between the entrance and exit on Pleasant Street. This helps ensure that cars exiting the lot can see the oncoming traffic.
This short video will show you exactly how the Express Dismissal process works.
