Parent Drop Off Tips: Tips: - Please have all student belongings ready to exit the vehicle before you come to a stop. - when dropping students off continue to drive forward and stop closely behind the vehicle in front of you. - PLEASE continue to pull forward if directed to. - If students are getting out of their vehicles behind you, you are being slow. Be efficient, but be safe. - if you see a thumbs up from a staff member, it’s time for students to exit the vehicle. Thank you for helping us get your students in the building, and you about your day in a safe and efficient manner!
