*The only students allowed to leave at 3:00pm are the Parent Pickups-not the walkers, bike riders, scooter riders, or e-bikers!! The only ones allowed to leave at 3:00pm are the Parent pick-ups. You MUST exit from the event entrance doors…not Mr. Gables. And, your parents need to be parked in the parent parking lot area, not the main one. It is obvious when there are other kids walking around outside instead of with the rest of the parent pick up crew!
