Procedures

Car Rider Procedures at South:

  • Car Riders at South Elementary enter behind the middle school using the athletic entrance of DCMS.

  • All car riders must enter through the Middle School Athletic entrance.
  • You will then follow this road behind the middle school and to a gate at the back of South.
  • Once the gate is open (approximately 7:15 AM for arrival and 2:25 PM for dismissal), cars will pull up in the marked car rider line along the entire length of the sidewalk.
  • Cars will pull up as far as they can and then children need to exit their car on the passenger side only.
  • Once your child has exited your car, continue forward in the car rider line and exit onto Lincoln Street.
  • On the first day of school, we will send home a VISOR TAG to display each day in the pick-up line. As parents pull up, our staff will radio for students to come out. Please be sure the visor tag is visible. We ask for your patience in the first few days as we work to make it a quick and efficient process.
  • We will begin letting students out of cars at 7:15 AM. Students will then sit in the hallway until the school day starts at 7:25 AM. We will close the car rider line promptly at 7:40 AM and any students arriving after this time will need to be taken to Door 1 and checked-in by a parent.
