Our courageous 4th grader, Brylee Freeman is battling cancer and making 'hard work' happen hour after hour along with support from her family (CVHS Coach Freeman) and incredible community members…

So there you have it our Fighting Freeman’s, We mean it when we say Brave Like Brylee

Drop off:

- The South Parking lot Gates are not open until 7:45 am. The late bell rings at 8:10am.

- Cars drive into the parking lot and circle around letting kids out at the gate.

- The late bell rings at 8:10 am-- so if you are late, parents/guardians will have to park and sign students in at the front office.

-Pick Up:

- Pick Up is in the South Lot. Parents pull in the driveway closest to the front of the school and drive forward along the sidewalk and wait until the kiddos are dismissed. Teachers/Staff usher kids to the cars.

-Kinders may be picked up at *2:50 pm and Grades 1-6 at 2:55 pm (although we will keep kinders if you cannot be there at 2:50 pm)

*On Wednesdays, 1:50 pm and 1:55 pm

-You may also park in the South or North Parking Lot and walk over to the gates in the South Parking Lot and pick up your student.

-OR you may park in the Campo Verde High School parking lot and walk down to pick up your student.

- Please do not park across the street at Sky Ridge- Their employee parking only

*We have given out large signs, with your student(s)' last name on it.

Please place in any vehicle that may be used to pick up your student...saves a tremendous amount of time when staff is loading students into vehicles.

Even if you are not new to Quartz, we have new staff members. Thank you...

Bus Info. You will receive text alerts should a bus be 'off schedule'-late, etc. There is also an app that you can use to track your student on and off the bus. Here Comes the Bus App:
