Student Pick Up Reminders
If you are picking up students in a personal vehicle, please follow these important safety expectations:
- Do NOT cut in front of other cars in the line. Pull up to the back of the line, and move forward only as other vehicles depart the line. Do not idle in one spot; continue to move up as you wait for your student(s).
- WATCH and SLOW DOWN for pedestrians! We have a lot of students and families coming and going on bikes and on feet at the end of the day.
- Please use your GREEN CARDS in your windows to help with pick up
You may park your vehicle on neighborhood streets and walk to the school to pick up children, if you wish. Please do
NOT park on VanSlyke or in areas immediately adjacent to bus/vehicle drop-off/pick up zones (see
Arrival/Dismissal Map for more information).
