District Implements Post Activity 30-Minute Pick-Up Rule to Keep Kids Safe
Young boy sitting on stepsEnsuring the safety of our students and guests attending school-sponsored events and activities is among our highest priorities. There have been many occasions in which students and/or event participants have waited at a school for an hour or more to be picked up following a school activity. This creates a potentially unsafe situation because there may not be adult supervision on hand.
As of October 1, students and event participants must be picked up within 30 minutes of the conclusion of a school event or activity (including practices, rehearsals, etc.). Rides and pick-up times should be arranged beforehand to ensure the student is picked up in a timely manner.

Coaches and staff members overseeing other extracurricular activities have been informed to adhere to published schedules so that students are dismissed on time. The school and athletic fields will be secured 30 minutes after the event or activity has concluded, and students will not be permitted to reenter the building/venue.
