Car Rider Lane:  When dropping off/picking up your child in the car rider lane, please make sure to keep the line moving as quickly as possible.  Students should be ready to get out of the car when you pull up to the building.  This is especially important on rainy days as we typically see an increase in the number of cars.  Please note:  Your child will be counted tardy if they enter the building after the 8:20 bell.
