CHECK-OUT PROCEDURES
When checking students out, please sign your child out through the front office. Office personnel will arrange for your child to report to the office. Parents who must pick up their children early in the afternoon for appointments after 1:00 need to park in the front parking lot. This will prevent you from being blocked in during dismissal times. Written requests for early pickup and/or changes in dismissal procedure must be provided to the teacher at the beginning of the day. FAXED NOTES OR EMAILS ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE. CHANGES IN DISMISSAL PROCEDURE AFTER 2:30 P.M. WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.

Dismissal will be at the same time and location every day rain, shine, sleet, or snow. Your promptness in picking up your child is very important.

The FRONT OFFICE closes at 4:00 p.m. Car Plaques Must be placed in the passenger side window (front right hand corner) of your vehicle during dismissal in the afternoon. Please print your child's name and grade level in large print on the car plaque with a black marker. This will help expedite the traffic flow on the side of the building. Please request extra plaques or replacement plaques from the front office. ***Students should NEVER be picked up at the curbside of West Lake Houston Parkway.  For the safety of our students, please do not drop off or pickup students in the outside lane of the driveway entrance or in the faculty parking. All car riders are to be picked up on the side of the building. Vehicles should form two lanes in the driveway. If there is a younger sibling, the older child is to dismiss with the younger child. Please be cautious of students by providing them the right of way when crossing lanes.
