​Staggered Dismissal​​

​​​​We are doing a staggered dismissal to allow for greater social distancing, and parents will have assigned times to arrive on campus.  Parents may only enter campus via their vehicle in the loops and must remain in their vehicle on campus.  No foot traffic is permitted on campus.  Specific arrival times have been determined for each family.  There will be no parking or waiting on campus ahead of your designated time.  Please remain off campus until your designated time to enter the loop. If you arrive early, we will respectfully request you depart and return at the designated time. 

The loops remain closed until 2:00 p.m.  PK families enter at 2:05.  Families assigned numbers between 1-199 may enter the loops at 2:10. Families assigned numbers between 200-599 may arrive to enter the loops at 2:20.  Parking is reserved for PK parents assigned to the west loop.  Parent awaiting safety patrols are assigned to park in the east loop lot after 2:20 and must remain in their vehicle.  Safety patrols will then report to your car for departure upon completion of their duty.  Families who walk may wait off campus beyond the east or west exit gates for your children who are designated as "Walkers" or "Bike Riders."​
