Morning Arrival, Bus and Private Vehicle Drop Off:
Elimination of Shuttle Buses from HS to MS – Students who ride a bus shared with high school students will
be dropped off at the middle school beginning as early as 7:00 am. Students will not have to shuttle from the
high school in the mornings this year.
Private Vehicles - Enter using either entrance from Rt. 206 Dahlgren Road. Follow traffic pattern in and
around the two parking lots. Drop students off on the side walk at designated area near the stop sign. After
dropping off your student(s), wait at the stop sign to be directed into the bus loop and EXIT from the single
lane by the left curb (Please see diagram above). Please use caution and allow staff to direct you. All vehicles will
exit using the bus loop exit in the morning.
Afternoon Dismissal, Bus and Private Vehicle Pick Up:
Afternoon dismissal will be in three waves this year. Car riders will be called first beginning at 2:25. The first
wave of buses will be for students riding middle school only designated buses. These students will be called
shortly after car riders exit the building. The second wave of bus dismissal will be for those students who ride
a bus shared with high school students. Buses will load at the high school first and then come directly to the
middle school to pick up middle school students. Students will remain in the classroom with their teachers
until called for dismissal. This will eliminate students having to shuttle to the high school on one bus and then
having to exit and board a different bus during high school dismissal.
Private Vehicles - Enter using either entrance from Rt. 206 Dahlgren Road. Follow traffic pattern in and
around the two parking lots. Students will be exiting the building by the side two doors. Students will be picked
up along the sidewalk and will not cross traffic into the parking lots. Please use caution and allow staff to
direct you. Cars may not enter the loop when buses are loading. Cars will exit using the marked exit (directly
in front of stop sign at corner of building – see diagram on PDF found under News tab or Families tab)
Please drive slowly and be observant when dropping off and picking up your students. This
is a safety concern for all involved.
