Default plans in Pick Up Patrol tell the classroom teacher and those assisting with transportation know which mode of transportation your student(s) take on a routine schedule.

Q: How do parents enter a default plan?

• On the Default page > Click the Update button > Enter the student’s default plan > Submit.

The default plans can be changed to reflect any single day plans though Pick Up Patrol. These changes must be input prior to 3:30 PM on the day of the change.

If you have any questions or need assistance, please call the front office at (651) 379-2500.

We have a growing collection of jackets, sweatshirts, hoodies and more. If your student is missing something, please encourage them to visit the lost and found. Parents and guardians are also welcome to check out these items.
