Arrival / Dismissal Procedures

Parents, please review these important rules for arrival and dismissal procedures and discuss them with your child.  The procedures will be explained to students next week as well. 

Students who live along FCPS transportation routes are strongly encouraged to ride the buses.

Morning Arrival:

  • Kiss & Ride drop off is located outside doors 14, 15, and 16 at the side of the building each AM.  (Kiss & Ride students will enter and exit the building using the doors at entrance 14, 15 and 16). Pull up to the top of the sidewalk if possible.
  • In the AM, school bus riders will unload along the front of the school building and enter the building through door 1 (main entrance), only.
  • All students must use the sidewalks and crosswalks at all times. Bike riders MUST walk their bikes once they arrive on campus.
  • ONLY school buses will be allowed use of the bus loop in the front of the school from 7:00 to 7:30 am.

Afternoon Dismissal:

  • Buses will load for departure outside Doors 14 (F-hall), 15 (G-hall), 16 (H-hall) and along the fence near the trailers.
  • Students should immediately exit the building after school and check the whiteboard located outside of Door15 (G-hall) to see if their bus has arrived and its location.
  • If students check the board and their bus is not listed, they should go to the end of the bus line where they will wait for their bus to arrive. To ensure everyone’s safety, DO NOT wait and form crowds along the sidewalk.
  • Students are not allowed to cut through the parking lot to get to their bus. This is dangerous and students can get hurt.
  • Kiss & Ride for students being picked up will be located outside of Door 1 (front of the building). Cars are able to wait in a double lined formation.

Walkers and bike riders will leave via Door 1 (front of the building). Please use sidewalks and crosswalks at all times.

Parents – do not drop your students off in the fire station lot or make a U-turn on Wolftrap Road. We have seen many almost accidents. Use the Kiss & Ride lanes.
