🚩UPDATE: MORNING DROP-OFF & AFTERNOON PICK-UP PROCEDURES
As we prepare for another great school year, we want to make families aware of a few changes to our morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up procedures. These adjustments are designed to improve traffic flow, increase safety, and help ensure a smoother arrival and dismissal experience for everyone.
🚗 Morning Drop-Off
- All elementary students (4K–5th grade), including carpools with both elementary and middle school students → front car loop
- Solo, middle school-only riders → back car loop
- One line only — students exit vehicles the entire length of the covered walkway. Stopping the line again at the front will cause traffic to back up.
🚗 Afternoon Pick-Up
- 3K (PM), 4K, and 5K students, plus older siblings/students joining them for dismissal → back car loop
- Solo, middle school-only riders → back car loop (please do not arrive before 2:30)
- All other elementary students (1st–5th grade), including elementary/middle school carpools → front car loop
We appreciate your patience and partnership as everyone adjusts to these updated procedures. By following these guidelines, we can provide a safer and more efficient arrival and dismissal process for all of our Griffin families. Thank you for helping us make the start and end of each school day a positive experience!
