CARPOOL Information

It is very important that you are not late to pick up your child.   You will need to be in the front of the line in order to pick up your child on time.  This requires that you arrive at school no later than 2:45 pm. 

It is best for your child to be in the first carpool line so they don't worry about where you are.

Kindergartners who are not picked up by the end of carpool are escorted to the After Care Program.  You will need to pick up  your child from the Counsel Room (buzz in at the Counsel Room doors) if you are late.

The Kindergarten Team greatly appreciates all our parent support. 

Thank you.
