** For the safety of all children, students will not be dismissed to persons who are not in a car and/or who do not have a car rider tag displayed. The driver will be required to show a photo ID in the office for pick-up. If the individual is not on the approved pick-up list, the child will not be released.

Students will remain inside the school at all times during a 30/30 Rule. Parents/guardians who wish to pick up their child/children during delayed dismissal will be allowed.
