NEW Car Rider Procedures in the Morning
This year, Nickajack students that are car riders in the morning will be dropped off at the front sidewalk of the school. There will be 4-5 staff members there to assist students getting out of cars.
The car rider line goes toward the back of the school by the cafeteria and then moves toward the front sidewalk. PLEASE DO NOT DROP OFF ANY STUDENTS IN THE BACK OF THE SCHOOL OR IN THE BUS LANE.
Parents may park their car in the front lot and walk their child into the school. If you choose to park, then you may exit the school in the secondary left lane at the front without getting back in the car rider line. All drivers should be aware of families crossing the parking lot to enter the school each morning.
This new procedure was proposed by the Department of Public Safety in order to absorb the traffic off of Mavell and Cooper Lake, as well as to assist more students in cars at one time.
Car riders in the afternoon will still be picked up by the cafeteria in the back of the school.
Thank you for your help in transitioning to this new system.
