To expedite our car rider dismissal and maintain safety, we have a car tag system for students who will be car riders each day. The procedures are listed below. • Parents must complete a CAR RIDER INFORMATION FORM and return it to the school by opening day so that your child will be able to be picked up using the car rider loop on the first day of school. The office is open between 7:45 a.m.-3:15 p.m. daily for your convenience. The form may also be brought to the office during the summer or at the registration table at open house. • All car riders in your family must be included on the same form so they are assigned the same ID number. • Each parent/guardian may receive up to 2 color-coded rearview mirror car tags at no cost for their family and each student will be given one backpack tag. Each tag will have a matching ID number to identify your child/family. • Parents/guardians wishing to purchase additional tags for other family/friends may do so at an additional cost per tag. Daily Procedures: • Students must keep their backpack tag attached in a visible location. Parents/Guardians upon entering the car rider area each day, the car tag must be hanging on the rearview mirror of the vehicle • As cars approach the student pick-up area, a staff member will alert the student(s) by calling his/her tag number and children will be escorted by an adult to your car. Parents/Guardians are asked to remain in their cars and not signal for their child to come to them so that the flow of traffic can continue. • Students who are not daily car riders but bring in a note to be picked up will wait in the car rider area. Since these parents will not have car rider tags, staff will verify IDs to ensure that the name on the note matches the pick-up person. • As in previous years, we appreciate your partnership in helping us maintain a safe and efficient traffic flow. We ask that all vehicles turn right when exiting the parking lot to minimize congestion and support the safety and well-being of everyone involved. Additional Information: • Please keep car tags in a safe place for daily use. Cars without rearview mirror tags will be delayed until verification can be confirmed. • Parents/Guardians who must pick students up prior to 2:45 p.m. must still report to the main office to sign the student out. • Daycare providers who pick up children from multiple families each day will be provided with a car tag that lists all ID numbers of children they have permission to pick up. This is only done after documentation is provided by the parent/guardian. • As part of our commitment to a safe and efficient dismissal process, students will only be released to individuals with matching car rider and backpack tags. If you would like another car rider parent to pick up your child, please send a note to the school in advance so we can ensure a
