Car Riders 

• If you drive to school, we ask for your cooperation when dropping off and picking up your children.  
• Drive slowly and remain alert. 
• Please proceed ahead as far as you can up to the next car ahead of you when dropping off your student. 
• Please do not get out of your car to assist your child(ren).  
• Children should exit their car on the PASSENGER side, closest to the sidewalk.  
• Parents are asked not to exit their cars to assist students’ arrival. This causes a delay for those behind you.  
• Remember that the area at the corner of 169th Place & Odell is a crosswalk. 
• In the interest of safety for all our students, please do not call your child back to your car once they have exited in the morning or entered the car in the afternoon. Upon arrival, if your child has left something in the car, please call one of the adults over or park in our parking lot and bring the item into school. At dismissal, if your child needs to return to the building, please park and wait until the bus riders and walkers have left the school grounds. As always, thank you for your cooperation.
