After School Drive Through Pick-Up Procedures and Important

Gentle Reminder:

It is imperative for the safety of our students that families do the following at after school pick up:

1)       Stay in the drive through line and pull your car forward as directed.

2)       Do not double-park.

3)       Pull out of the line slowly and exit on 87^th.

4)       Park in the designated area ONLY if you must and please use the crosswalk.

5)       Hold the hands of younger children when walking in the parking lot.

6)       Do not cross between cars.

7)       Parents: Once your children have been dismissed into your care it is your responsibility to watch them at play. The school staff returns to the building once all children have been picked-up.

Adhering to these reminders will help ensure the safety of all of our students. Thank you!!
