Please read the following reminders, and share them with any family members who are coming to our campus.

Important! Morning supervision does not begin until 9:25 am. Please do not drop off your student before that time, unless they are involved in a special activity. Early drop off or arrival should not occur in the car line or at Hiker/Biker. 

Hiker/Biker Reminders
If your child is riding a bike or scooter to or from school, please be sure they are wearing a helmet. Recently, we have noticed that helmet use has decreased, which is a safety issue. This is also required by Florida Statute 316.2065 and is part of our Hiker/Biker procedures.

Car Rider Line Procedures
We have had several safety issues in our car line recently, and we need your help!

• You must not use your cell phone in our car line at any time. As soon as you enter the line in the morning or afternoon, please put your cell phone down so that you can pay attention and ensure the safety of everyone around you. Even while you are waiting, it is important that you are NOT on your phone.

  Morning Car Line Notes:
  Students may ONLY be dropped off at the numbered poles to an adult or Safety Patrol officer. Do NOT drop off your child anywhere else in the parking lot. After the car line is closed, students must be escorted to the office by an adult.
