  • Morning Drop-off is 7:05-7:30 in the main car rider line; 7:30-7:40 2nd line opens at the main entrance.
  • After 7:30 a parent must accompany the student into the office to sign in.
  • Afternoon dismissal starts at 2:30; after 3:05 parents must pick up students from the front office.
  • Parents of afternoon car riders must display this year's school-issued car tag on their rearview mirror.
  • Please turn off your cell phone once you enter the main campus circle. This will limit distractions and maximize student safety.
  • Seatbelts are required, according to SC State Law.
  • Children under the age of 6 are required to sit in the back seat and must be in a car seat, SC State Law.
  • Help keep our students stay safe and please be respectful of adults on duty.
  • Do not park and block the line of traffic in the morning or afternoon. This is a hazard and slows down the line for those loading or unloading students in the line.
  • Stay in your car and off your cell phone.
  • Pull all the way down as far as you are directed. Your child will be brought to you.
  • Put any car seats on the passenger side of the vehicle (right side where we load), if your child requires a car seat. It is not safe for your child or us to be walking around the vehicle.
  • Please stay in your vehicle while in line. Let your child be loaded into your vehicle and then pull all the way to the end of the line to pull over if you need to buckle children into car seats or seatbelts.
  • Do not PASS unless directed by a staff member to do so.
Please be patient, kind and cautious!
