Beginning Monday, November 9th, Dardenne Elementary will implement new car rider dismissal procedures, as we are no longer permitted to use the neighboring parking lot for our dismissal line. We have worked closely with district administration to develop a new plan that prioritizes the safety of our students, families, and staff while keeping dismissal as efficient as possible. District staff will also be on-site Monday to help support this transition.
We ask all families to carefully review the updated dismissal procedures and traffic flow map to help ensure a safe and smooth dismissal.
As we adjust to these changes, please keep these important reminders in mind:
Drive Slowly: Maintain a safe speed when entering, traveling through, and exiting our parking lot. Safety is our number one priority!
Follow Staff Directions: Dr. Allen will be directing traffic at the parking lot entrance, and another staff member will assist at the exit. Please remain alert and follow their directions to keep traffic moving safely.
Remain in Your Vehicle: All car rider families must remain in their vehicles throughout dismissal. Our staff will assist students as they make their way to their cars.
Have Your QR Code Ready: Please have your car rider QR code ready to scan when you arrive. This helps keep our dismissal process moving efficiently. If you need a replacement QR code, please contact your child's teacher.
We understand that these changes may take a few days to become familiar, and we sincerely appreciate your patience, flexibility, and cooperation as we work through this transition together.
Thank you for helping us keep our Knights safe and ensuring a successful dismissal each day!
