Parents and Families,
Please review the morning arrival and afternoon dismissal map for the 2026-2027 school year. There will be no changes to the arrival map at this time. With the removal of the portables, we have an additional route for student pick-up in the afternoon.

CAR RIDER, DAYCARE, & LISD BUS
Kindergarten Car, 1st Grade Car, & Daycare [for K-5th Grade]:
Back Gym Loop Drive
Daycare will park at the front of the car line, so that, they can dismiss quickly.
Please take note of the entrance/exit on Avalon and King Pelles.
*Please use the orange (kindergarten) or yellow (1st grade) car sign to assist in pick-up efficiency. We ask that you DO NOT get out of your car.

Comm Car, 2nd Grade Car & LISD Bus (K-5th Grade):
Holy Grail Front Drive
LISD buses will park at the very front of the sidewalk of the front drive. Once buses depart, car riders will begin being dismissed.
*Please use the light blue (Comm) or blue (2nd grade) car sign to assist in pick-up efficiency.

3rd Grade Car, 4th Grade Car, & 5th Grade Car: Back Drive
3rd-5th grade car riders will continue to be picked up at the back of the school. However, please take note of the entrance/exit on Avalon and the route through the parking lot.
Please note: In order to ensure the safety of our students and staff, students WILL NOT be dismissed across the parking lot.
If you would like to park in the back parking lot, you may meet your student at the 2nd-5th grade walker waiting meet-up spot.

WALKER
Walker Pick-up
Comm, kindergarten & 1st grade walkers must be picked up by an individual listed in Skyward Q. The adult picking up the student will wait outside the appropriately marked door.

Walkers
In an effort to ensure the safety of all students, 2nd-5th grade walkers will be taken to the Holy Grail crosswalk. Any adult/loved one that is coming to connect with their student will do so at the waiting meet-up spot. If an adult is not at the waiting area, students will be safely escorted across Holy Grail.

We appreciate your support and help in ensuring all students, staff, and family members get home safely each day.

📌 July 13 | Online enrollment reopens in the new Qmlativ system.

📌 July 17 – Aug. 2 | The Skyward app will be temporarily offline. A browser link will be available during this window for document access.
