🚗 Car Rider & Dismissal Reminders

Keep your car rider tag visible on your dashboard until your child is safely inside your vehicle and remember to bring it every day. This helps keep our car line moving smoothly.

⏰ Car line closes at 3:10 p.m. Families must be in line before that time.

📚 No early dismissals after 2:30 p.m. Early dismissals should also be limited whenever possible to avoid interruptions to instructional time.

Thank you for your cooperation!
