Dos & Don'ts
Do
- Display your number card on the dash or visor every single time.
- Pull all the way forward to the next available staff member or cone.
- Stay in a single line and follow the painted/marked path.
- Remain in the vehicle — let staff help your child in and out.
- Have backpacks, shoes, and buckles ready before you reach the front.
- Arrive a few minutes early so you're not rushed through the loop.
Don't
- Don't turn left at the entrance — that lane is for buses only.
- Don't pass, pull around, or cut in front of other cars in line.
- Don't get out of the car or send children between moving vehicles.
- Don't stop between cones — keep pulling forward to close gaps.
- Don't block the driveway to make a phone call or search for items.
- Don't honk, rev, or rush staff — they're moving as quickly as they safely can.

Please Be Patient With Our Staff & Volunteers
Every adult in that lot — teacher, staff member, or volunteer — is out there rain or shine to get your Bronco safely to you. The line moves fastest when everyone stays calm, follows the pattern, and gives our team a little grace, especially during the first few weeks of school. A smile and a wave go a long way!
