1/15/26 – Special Announcement re: Pick Up Procedure

Pick-Up Adjustment

Hello Parents,

We have seen an increase in unsafe situations in the west parking lot and along Princess Jeanne during dismissal. To keep all students, families, and staff safe, we need everyone’s help following our dismissal procedures.

If you are able to stagger your pick-up time by 5–10 minutes, please do so—this greatly reduces congestion and improves safety for everyone.

Please remember:

  • All vehicles exiting the bus loop and the west parking lot must turn right after school.

  • Cars may not park in the bus loop. If your student is not ready when you arrive, please pull into the west parking lot or circle back.

  • Cars may not park in crosswalks or directly outside the bus loop, as this blocks traffic and creates unsafe conditions for students walking.

  • Please drive slowly and carefully on Princess Jeanne and through all pickup loops.

Thank you for partnering with us to keep dismissal safe and orderly for all of our students.

Respectfully,

Tamara Lopez
