Car Tag Distribution
We have several families who have not picked up their official dismissal tag yet. Parents/guardians must stop by the main office BEFORE 2:30 PM today to pick up their car tag. If you do not have your official car tag by 2:30 PM today, please DO NOT enter the car loops. You will be directed to park and wait until the car dismissal is complete (keep in mind that dismissal will take longer than usual this week as our students/parents learn the process). Once the dismissal is complete, then you may walk up and show your driver's license to administration to pick up your student and car tag. Click HERE to review the handout distributed with the tag.
Arrival and Dismissal Procedures
Arrival and dismissal the first week of school requires additional time as we familiarize students and parents with our routine, procedures, and car loops. Please be patient with our staff and other drivers while driving on our campus. We all agree that a safe opening of school is everyone’s top priority!
Arrival and Dismissal Procedures
Please review SECTION 300 – ARRIVAL, DISMISSAL, and TRANSPORTATION POLICIES of the Parent/Student Handbook (page 9-12) for full procedures on our arrival and dismissal routine. Click HERE to visit the Campus Life\Handbook section of our website.
Arrival and Dismissal Maps
The maps outlining the routes for driving on our campus during arrival and dismissal are located on our website. There will be staff located at key spots on our campus directing drivers of the routes to follow. Click HERE to visit the Campus Life\Transportation section of our website.
QUESTIONS?: If you still have questions after reviewing the maps and handbook, please contact the school at administration@lutzprep.org.
Dear Parents/Guardians,
As we look ahead at this week’s weather forecast, it appears we can expect some rainy days that could potentially impact our normal arrival/dismissal procedures.
Please review the information below as a reminder for safety purposes:
Staff members and patrols WILL remain outside during RAIN to continue normal arrival procedures to escort students into the building.
Staff members WILL remain outside during RAIN to continue normal dismissal procedures to escort students to cars.
In the event there is ANY detected thunder/lightning*(or within an unsafe distance from campus), ALL STAFF AND STUDENTS will immediately return INSIDE of the building for safety.
If staff/students return to the building at any point during dismissal procedures, parents/designated persons will remain in car loop to wait out the weather.
As you pull up to the building (or if able to reroute your vehicle), YOU have the OPTION to park in a designated parking spot and walk up to the building with your official car tag to pick-up your student(s) only if you deem it is safe to do so.**
Please note this is an option, but not the school’s recommendation.
*During inclement weather, it is especially important that families/designated persons picking up students follow all the traffic safety rules; while it will take longer, it will also help ensure the safety of everyone involved. At times it may be necessary to halt dismissal entirely during inclement weather for everyone’s safety.
**For K-8 students with Pre-Prep siblings, those students will be moved inside the main building as pick-up will NOT be available at outside gate in between buildings. Parents who typically pick up at the gate are also able to come to main building with their car tag if they choose and deem it is safe to do so.
As always, the last time to sign out students from the front office during the school day is no later than 2:30 PM.
