🚗🚙🛻 Parent Pick-Up Reminders:
-Blue hanging placards are required in order to pick up your child in the parent pick up line.
(Available for purchase in front office through MySchoolBucks.com. If you need to go in and get one during dismissal, please park in a regular parking spot and be sure to have your ID.)
-Please refrain from cell phone use once the line is moving. It's the law in the State of Florida, F.S.S. 316.306, sec 3(a)1. Your attention is paramount to the safety of all TBE scholars and employees.
-Please pull in close as we try to alleviate traffic off the surrounding roads as quickly as possible.
-Children will be loaded on the side of the car that is closest to school. Patrols are not permitted to walk your child around the vehicle.
-If your child needs help buckling or tightening their seat belts, please slowly move forward past the front cone before exiting your vehicle to assist them.
-Appropriate language only please. Inappropriate language will not be tolerated on campus.
-Tip: We have noticed that the blue side line(Thunderbolt Road entrance) is significantly longer than the grey side line (Old Hard Road entrance). If you have older children (3rd grade and up), you may want to utilize Old Hard Road to expedite your pickup. Just be sure to let your scholar know, so that they are aware to look for you on the opposite side.
Remember, above all, we are working to get your children dismissed as safely and quickly as possible. Your patience and understanding of our dismissal procedures is greatly appreciated!
