Fasken Arrival and Dismissal Notes
- We have received quite a few concerns from residents in the Vineyard Neighborhood directly in front of the school regarding blocked traffic lanes, students running across Sherwood, and illegal parking. We ask all our families to follow our arrival and dismissal guidelines. Remember to be kind and respectful in these lines.
- We cannot manage cutting in the car line. We are counting on you, our school community, to be kind and model good behavior while in the car line.
- The main school doors will open at 7:10AM, however, no staff members will be on duty to open car doors. Please release students, instruct them to walk on the right side of the tree line, and keep the car line moving. Staff members will only be on duty to open car doors between 7:30-7:45 AM.
- Do not use Becker to join 1-6 grade car line. Greentree Ave. is the best option.
- If you join the drop-off/pick-up line using a golf cart or any other alternative vehicle, follow the same guidelines as normal vehicles. We want to keep everyone safe and it has been reported that accidents have nearly happened as golf carts and such have weaved through traffic.

Student Arrival and Dismissal (Part 1)
Walk ups for arrival or dismissal are not allowed unless they have been previously approved by the Fasken Administrative Team. Exceptions are in place for families who live directly in front of the school or in the Apartment complex directly behind the school.
For the safety of all, stay in assigned car lanes. Do not cut the line, bypass the line and/or park in front of the marquee (Grades 1-6), side road (Pre-K) or any other undesignated area when dropping off or picking up students.
Student Arrival and Dismissal (Part 2)
Please be a positive example for our students by following our school guidelines, rules, and procedures.
Always be kind and courteous.
Finally, please remember that our process may start off slow, however with your support, it will become more efficient and effective with every passing day.
Student Arrival and Dismissal (Part 3)
**IT IS AN OLD VIDEO BUT THE INFORMATION REMAINS THE SAME **
Here are some tips to make the dismissal process quicker and more effective:
- Help your student(s) memorize their dismissal number.
- Display you dismissal number sign where it is very easy to see (a pant hanger hanging from your rearview mirror is an ideal placement).
- Review the video and maps below for the least frustrating dismissal routes.
