Arrival

For your safety and the safety of our students, please follow the traffic loop during arrival and dismissal. Thank you in advance for your patience in the drop off /pickup line. We will continue to become more efficient as time progresses.

• Parents please remain in your cars during arrival and make sure students are ready to exit the vehicle on the right side of the car closest to the sidewalk.
• Doors open daily at 7:30. However, students cannot be dropped off at the front of the school prior to 7:55.
• Once the cones are placed out, please drive around to the front office to sign students in. Students are tardy after 7:55 and must be signed in by an adult in the front office.
• We encourage students who want breakfast to arrive between 7:30-7:50.

Dismissal

To help us get you in and out of the carpool lane quickly, please remember your Southview car tag.

• Complete the car tag with the name (first and last) and grade level of each child riding with you and place the tag on your dash near the windshield (on the passenger side) upon arriving on campus.
• Please DO NOT get out of your vehicle to retrieve students. This is a safety issue.

Thank you for your cooperation!
