Morning Car Drop-off 

• All traffic must enter the campus in the right-hand lane that goes around the building. Cars unloading students at Door 4 will have on their hazard lights. You may go around these vehicles in the left-hand lane. 

• All general education students, regardless of grade, may be dropped off at Door 6 from 7:45-8:20. This is the only entrance for car riders in grades K-5. Door 1 (the front circle) is for walkers, only. Students are NOT to be dropped off in the front circle from 7:45-8:20. If students arrive after Door 6 is closed, please drive around and drop your student off at the front circle. Students are tardy at 8:30. If students are tardy, parents MUST walk them to the office and sign them in. We advise you to drop off students no later than 8:20 to make sure they are prepared and in class ready for their day.

• Students in the Discovery Pre-K, CDC and ERC classes should communicate with their teacher for drop-off/pick-up procedures and times. 

• Headstart Pre-K students will accept students at Door 11 at 8:30.

• All other doors will be locked in the morning. The practice was created to ensure a safer learning environment.

Afternoon Car Pick-up 

• All general education car-rider students will be released at 3:30pm. We will release students in K-2nd Grade from Door 3 and 3rd-5th Grade from Door 6. 

• Parents with a K-2 student must get into the right lane when pulling around the back of the building.  Parents picking up only a 3rd-5th grader, will get into the left lane.  If you have students in both groups, pick up the K-2 students, first, from the right lane. Then you will stay in the right lane and pull forward to get into the 3-5 line. 

• We will load several students at a time, allowing you to pull away as a line rather than changing lanes. Only use the left lane, if you MUST pull around someone.

• All vehicles should stay in the line until they have reached their designed stop. (Cars should not be cutting in and out of the line.)

• No students will be released from the "Front Circle," Door 1. This area is reserved for parents who walk to get their children from the neighborhoods around Stuart, emergencies, and parents who need to pick up children early for doctor appointments. Please note, students who check out before 3:15 are considered "early check-outs." These days add up the same as tardies and can count toward truancy issues, resulting in a referral to Juvenile Court.

• Parents of the CDC, ERC and Discovery Pre-K may use the handicapped parking spots near Door 4. Please use your hazard lights to indicate you are loading the vehicle and will need additional time. Other parents will need to pull around them. 

In an effort to expedite the pick-up of your student, please display this card hanging from your mirror at all times while in the pick-up line. Students will NOT be released to you if you do not have the car tag. If you do not have your car tag, please drive to the front of the building and come to the front office. Please show your ID for your student to be released.

Walkers must have a special card to pick-up their student. Only parents with a "Walker Card" may use this service. All other parents must remain in their car and pick-up students from the designated areas for car-riders.

We supply 2 cards per student. If you need an additional card please inform your student’s teacher or email Rhonda Weeks at rweeks@clevelandschools.org Additional cards cost $2, each. 

Thank you in advance for your cooperation as we try our best to keep your students safe.
