Important information pertaining to Dunlap afternoon parent pick up:
In order to enhance safety, efficiency, and ensure a smooth pick-up process for all students, we will be modifying a few procedures starting Monday, September 9, 2024.
What's Changing?
Pick Up Time: We kindly request that parents arrive between 3:00-3:40 pm to pick up their children, and not before. This will help us reduce congestion during Middle/High School pick up times as well as ensuring a timely dismissal for all students. The Dunlap line will not start until 3:00 pm and the current waiting area will be blocked off to ensure all middle school parents can make it through the back lot to pick up their students.
Designated Waiting Location: For Parents that are picking up multiple students from different buildings, you will be routed back towards the high school with all middle school pick ups. Please park in the High School staff parking/bus lot and wait until 3:00 pm for the Dunlap line to start if you do not wish to leave campus between picking up students.
All other procedures for Dunlap pick ups will remain the same. Please work with us to make these few small changes to help improve the safety and efficiency. If you have any questions or concerns please call Mrs Hill (269) 961-9789.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support!
