Car Line Procedures

 

 

Inclement Weather Procedure:


When the school is under a lightning alert, students are not permitted to be dismissed using the usual car line procedure.

 

For students in grades 6-12: If it appears likely that we will be under a lightning alert at the time of dismissal, parents will be notified by text. The text will contain a link for parents to inform the Upper School if they would like for their child to be dismissed from class before the alert has been lifted. Once the submission is received, the student will be released from class.

The permission to dismiss should not be submitted until the student’s ride is through the campus gate as we do not want students waiting outdoors for an extended period of time while under lightning alert.

Students may not be released under lightning alert based on a phone call or email. 

For students in Kindergarten-5th: You will be notified by text with a link for parents to inform the Lower School if they would like for their child to be dismissed from class before the alert has been lifted. 

Upon arrival at the LS carline, please wait until you see the yellow sign that prompts you to complete the dismissal form and enter your car tag number. This ensures your student will be released from class as you are approaching the pickup point. We do not want students waiting in the breezeway longer than absolutely necessary.

Please maintain two lanes until you get to the turn by the dumpsters. At that turn, please form a single line closest to the outside lane, using a zippered merge. This allows each car to drive under the overhang to safely pick up students. Be sure to merge every other car from either lane to keep both lanes moving.

If we are still in the process of a lightning dismissal at 3:45, we will need all cars to please park in a parking spot. Then it is your choice to come check your child out from the office OR allow them to be signed into aftercare and cared for safely in the LS hallways. Aftercare fees will apply.

For Preschool students: Instructions will be communicated via Seesaw.
