PICK-UP: ALL MODES

• A school-issued pick-up card is required to pick up students at dismissal.  A pick-up card is a colored card with the student’(s’) name and is displayed in the parent’s/ guardian’s dashboard for carline pick-up or held in hand for parents picking up from the parking lot.  Parents/ guardians without the pick-up card will be directed to park (if driving), enter the building, and go to the main office to officially sign-out their children.  NO EXCEPTIONS WILL BE PERMITTED.
