• Birthday Lunch - Special Change: We are excited to announce a new way to celebrate your child's birthday month! Each student is allowed one guest listed on their infinite campus contact list to eat lunch with them on the specified day each month during their designated lunch time. Student friends who do not have a birthday that month will not be allowed to join them. We will have a special table set up in our lobby area for you to join your child. Guests must check-in at our kiosk. Student may have school lunch, or on this special day only, you may choose to bring your child a special lunch. Outside food is only allowed on this special day. Door Dash and other deliver services are not allowed. Balloons and gifts will not be permitted. See below for the dates for July-September birthday special days.

• September Birthdays: Tuesday, September 24
  
• June Birthdays will be celebrated in May

Eat at Qdoba Tuesday, September 24 from 4:00 pm - 8:00 pm! Tell them you are with Washington Irving!

• Edmond Public Schools Student Handbook We ask that all families read through the Edmond Public Schools Student handbook Grades PreK- 12 read through it carefully. Here are a few important items to note:
  
• Party invitations can not be distributed at school
• Birthdays will not be celebrated with parents/guardians supplying snacks/treats
• Delivery of lunch through DoorDash, Uber Eats, etc., will not be allowed
• Students may only be considered a walker if the student’s address does not have a bus route.

Please note, we ask that parents do not come in to check out their child after 3:00 p.m. During this time, we are preparing for dismissal and our secretaries are getting messages to our teachers about dismissal changes. It makes it very difficult to prepare for dismissal if parents come in to check out students during this busy time. If it is after 3:00, we are happy to get your student to you as soon as possible. This may be after dismissal is over, so we will ask you to wait patiently.

What happens if I forget to put my CAR RIDER PLUS TAG in my car?

You will have to park your car in a parking space, go inside to the office, present your driver’s license for verification to receive a temporary tag, then join the car line.

Can I use the CAR RIDER PLUS TAG to check out my student during regular school hours?

NO, you must present your driver’s license during regular school hours.

Can I show my driver’s license to the duty teacher instead of the CAR RIDER PLUS TAG?

NO, the duty teacher will only dismiss your child if you have the CAR RIDER PLUS TAG.

Can my friend or a grandparent pick up my child from the car line?

Yes, but they will need to have the CAR RIDER PLUS TAG with them to pick up your child. If they do not have the card, they will go to the office and present their driver’s license for a temporary tag, then join the car line. If their name is listed in the parent portal, they will be allowed to leave with your child.

Can my child go home with a friend’s parent?

If the friend’s parent has your child’s CAR RIDER PLUS TAG, then your child will be dismissed with them. If they do not have the CAR RIDER PLUS TAG, they must go to the office and present their driver’s license for verification. If their name is in the parent portal, then your child will be allowed to leave with them.
