All students have a dismissal number.

If a student is a walker, they do not need a dismissal card to exit the grounds, and they exit on the 19th Street side.  (Students must be 3rd grade and up unless they have a sibling or someone else in the school to walk with.)  

If a student is a parent pickup, then the parent will have a tag with the same number as the student that will be picked up. The parent walks up to the gates by the front office.  If they do not have their tag, they must go to the front office to be identified.

If a student is a car rider, then parents will also have a tag, and it will be the same number as the student.  They will line up on the 19th Street side of the building.  Parents will not get out of the vehicle; students will be escorted to the vehicle. If they do not have their tag, they must go to the front office to be identified.
