Car Rider Line

Student safety during arrival and dismissal is the priority of Collier County Public Schools. We kindly ask you follow all directions and signals given to you from the school YRD and school staff.

• Students should enter and exit the car on the passenger side of the car.
• Staff loading students will not buckle students into vehicles or car seats. Parents should pull over past car rider arrival to secure students.  

Arrival

• Cars will use one line.
• Parents will be directed to pull as far forward as possible to unload.  
• When the line comes to a stop, all students should unload. Do not wait to being at the front of the line or for staff to open the door to unload
• Cars are not to use the second lane to pass or pull out of the area.  
• Parents are not to exit the vehicle to open doors or say goodbye to students.  
• Parents wishing to walk their student to the door or with business in the office, are to park and walk across the traffic with their students.  
• Students are not allowed to walk from the parking lot unescorted by family.  
• The bus exit crosses over the car rider line, cars are not to block this intersection for any reason.  

Dismissal

• Families are asked not to line up prior to 2:15 each day. This will help prevent a backup on Immokalee Road.  
• Cars are to use the right lane for dismissal and will line up in a single line allowing parking cars to enter into the parking lot. Please do not block the left lane.
• Once the dismissal process has begun, all cars must have their car rider tag displayed from the driver side visor. No child will be dismissed into a car without a tag.  
• Two lines will be created in front of the loading areas. The inside lane, or lane closes to the sidewalk will be dismissed first, then the outside line. All cars are to observe directions from staff regarding moving cars.  
• Parents will be asked to park in the front spaces if students miss their loading time. Staff will bring the student to the car.  
• Please be aware what lane you select depending on the direction you are traveling on Immokalee Road. There are dedicated right and left turn lanes, please use the exit drive to ensure you are in the correct lane.
