New Onslow County Policy:

For the safety of our students, no vehicles are to be on campus more that 30 minutes prior to dismissal. Dismissal starts at 3:15; therefore, cars should not be parked for dismissal prior to 2:45. Please drive slowly when arriving on campus. There will be five orange cones placed for each car to stop, so students can be let out by a staff member. You will pull forward and a staff member will load your child. Staff members will not buckle your child in their seat; however, they will open the car door for them.

Edulog's Bus Transportation

If you have questions regarding buses (bus number, bus stop location, pickup/drop off time) please use the Edulog Parent App on your Smartphone. You will need your child's Powerschool number in order to set up an account and access the bus information. Your child's teacher will have your child's Powerschool number at Orientation.
