Appointments
Please try to make your doctor appointments for your child at the end of the day or on remote learning days.  

Car Riders
Adults / Visitors will not be permitted in the building this year.  Parents will need to go through the pick-up line and remain in their vehicle
.  Please do not park in the eye doctor parking lot next door. 

Parent pick-up will look different this year:
  • Turn right into Carlisle parking lot off of Grandview Ave.
  • A staff member on duty will read your Family Name Tag and announce the name(s) to the staff member on duty in the student waiting space
  • The parent pulls forward, past the waiting space by the gym, along the sidewask as far forward as possible
  • The teach on duty in the student waiting space tells the student(s) which number/cone to walk to and match up with their ride
*Helpful Tips: Please stay in your car the whole time and pull forward.  Have your child enter/exit the car on the sidewalk side.  Practice having your child open and close the door on their own.
