Thank you for your patience as we work to improve the Reid caravan process. We need everyone to do their part, read the procedure below, and do the right thing in order for caravan to run smoothly:
IMPORTANT:
If you are the first car in the caravan line, you will need to pull all the way up to the exit (Erie Street) and WAIT for the buses to pull away, BEFORE you start the line moving. Stay parked and wait in the driveway, do not pull out on Erie or block residential driveways. DO NOT pull up behind the buses when they are unloading/loading students.
Please make sure your caravan cards are cut and in your car, visible in the passenger side window before pulling up to pick up your child.
See the map below for guidance.
Line 1 fills first. Once line 1 is full, start to fill line 2, and then line 3. Once a line goes, the next car will start to back-fill the lines that have already gone (in the same order) and wait their turn. Do not keep going, you need to stop at the cones and wait your turn. Lanes should be going in the order they arrive. Lines and signs have been added to help this process.
Please do not allow children to play on the playground while you wait. Please also have your children inside your car at all times. If students are on the playground when you arrive, please do not drive on the pavement. You can pull up once students return inside the building. Student safety is out #1 priority.
It is not kind to cut the line in front of others. Please be patient, wait your turn and follow the procedures (just like we teach our students).
Our school bus system is always an option for families that do not want to be involved in the drop-off/pick-up procedures (actually your students will probably get home faster). Please call the bus garage to get your child set up (810-591-3454). Even school of choice kids have bus stop options.
Early office pick-ups are not allowed. If you need to pick up your student early in the office, they will be marked accordingly in the attendance system.
