PreK3 and VPK Car Line Dismissal

PreK3 and VPK students will be dismissed at 2:30 PM. Families with PreK3/VPK students should use the shorter, left lane, which is our dedicated PreK3/VPK pick-up lane. Between 2:30 and 2:55 PM, parents may use the PreK3/VPK lane. Only vehicles with the PreK3/VPK tag will be allowed in the short lane.

Vehicles with both PreK3/VPK students and K-5 students will use the left lane. Once the PreK3/VPK student(s) are loaded, the vehicle will then pull up to the front of the car line to wait for the K-5 student(s) to be dismissed at 2:45 PM.

At 2:55 PM, the left “short” lane will be closed, and all cars will need to enter the right “outside” lane for pick-up. This includes any families that are picking up PreK3/VPK students.

K - 5th Grade Car Line Dismissal

Vehicles picking up K-5 students may only use the right lane. Cars will remain behind the barrier until 2:55 PM, at which point the K-5 car line will begin dismissal.

Walkers & Bike Riders

Students who walk home will meet at the crosswalk, marked in green. This is the only place that parents may walk up to meet their student. Parents may not park in the school parking lot and walk up to pick up their students at the walker's area.

Bus & Aftercare Van Riders

Bus riders and students who use our off-campus aftercare are dismissed at 2:55 PM to the Bus Circle. Students in our on-campus YMCA Aftercare Program will go to the Cafeteria at dismissal. For our full list of before and after care providers, please visit Belcher Before & After Care
