Drivers of vehicles are asked to pull all the way around the circle, near the playground fence, and remain in their car while students are being dismissed. Please note that lines can be long along Sharptown Road. Please be sure to stop by the orange cone near the entrance to the bus ramp. A staff member will release cars to the car rider line as room becomes available. Thank you for helping in ensuring that our buses can enter/exit the line safely. 4. Please greet and assist your child(ren) to your vehicle as quickly as possible. This is a courteous act and assists with expediting car dismissal. 5. If a car tag is not present when picking up your child, the adult will need to come to the Main Office and sign out their child. Please be prepared to present identification. 6.
