The car circle in the back of the school is the safest and fastest way to pick up your child at dismissal.  We ask for your patience for the first couple of weeks.  It will take time for students and parents to acclimate to the car circle system.  

For a quick & safe dismissal we ask that you: 

• stay in your car

• please be patient 
• don't stop suddenly and call your child to the car, pull forward and close the gaps 
• have your child exit on the passenger side of the vehicle
