Important Dismissal Reminders
We would like to remind everyone of some important dismissal procedures as we approach the last few weeks before the winter break.  These procedures are in place to ensure all 782 of our students are dismissed safely and in an orderly fashion.
  • The latest time to check out your student in the office is 2:30 PM.
  • Please ensure that designated persons, relatives, etc. are aware of dismissal policies and procedures.
  • All adults picking up through car line must have the official LP car tag (or a paper photo copy of the official tag given to them by the parent/guardian).  No cell phone pictures will be accepted.
  • Follow directives from staff both in the queuing lines and car loops at all times.
  • Please respect the queuing line procedures and do not cut in line. 
  • No cell phone usage while driving through car lines.
Thank you for your support in helping the car line flow as quickly as possible and ensuring that all students and staff are safe during dismissal.
