Morning Drop Off

Afternoon Pickup Procedure

Please watch this short video about afternoon car rider procedures.

Students will be receiving a Car Rider Tag that needs to be displayed in their cars. As cars arrive, the numbers will be entered into our system and students will be sent to either Zone 1 (front of school) or Zone 2 (back of school, like morning car rider drop off) to get into their cars. Drivers need to pay attention to directions from staff as cars will all be stopped and released to move in groups.

Will you be a part of a carpool group? Do you need more than two car tags? Did you misplace your car tag and need a replacement? Please fill out our Car Rider Line Information Form located below. We will get the tags ready for you as quickly as possible.
