Dear Hartstern Families,
Thank you for your patience today as we worked through the first day of our new car rider arrival and dismissal process. We know the wait was longer than expected, and we sincerely apologize for the delay.
As with any new system, it takes a little time for everyone to adjust. We’re confident that arrival and dismissal will move much more smoothly once families and students become familiar with the routine. We truly appreciate your grace and understanding as we get things running efficiently and safely.
To help us move quicker tomorrow, please make sure your child knows their car rider number and that it is clearly displayed on their backpack tag and in your car window during dismissal. This small step can make a big difference in speeding things up.
Please also keep in mind the following reminders to help ensure a safe and smooth experience for everyone:
-Arrival is in Lane One & Two, Same As Dismissal
-For Dismissal do not arrive before 3:30 PM. Early arrivals cause unnecessary traffic congestion in the neighborhood. You will not be granted access to the car rider line until 3:30PM
-Wait for staff signal before allowing your child to exit the vehicle.
-Drive slowly and stay close (but safe) to the car in front of you—no gaps between vehicles.
-Stop at all cones and do not pass any cones until directed by staff.
-No lane switching. Once you're in a lane, please stay in that lane.
-Only 24 cars will be directed into the four-lane pick-up area at a time.
-24 students will be released at once, walking with staff to their assigned vehicles in a line. Your child needs to stay in the line until they get to your car.
-Wait for the All Clear signal before moving your vehicle.
-We are committed to keeping your children safe and making this process as efficient as possible. Thank you for your continued cooperation, patience, and support.
Sincerely,
Hartstern Elementary School
