8. Arrival and Dismissal Reminder- School Lane is a One-Way Street.  
   
   Arrival: The curb closest to the school is a Drop and Go Zone. Please pull up all the way. Your child should exit the car directly onto the sidewalk. Parents, please do not get out of your car if you are in the Drop and Go Zone. Be very careful as you pull up and merge back into traffic. Do not drop your child off in the center of the street. For your child’s safety, please pull up to the curb before allowing them to exit; this includes all streets: School Lane, Montgomery, and Garfield Ave. We do not want students passing between cars.  
   
   Dismissal: All parents and students must use our crosswalk and wait for the crossing guard to cross you safely. All students are dismissed out of the APR lobby doors. Buses are dismissed first, then walkers. This is so the large buses can exit our property before dismissing the children. Our dismissal begins at 3:20 with the first bus. The first round of walkers are dismissed at about 3:27. All students are usually called and dismissed by 3:38.  

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
