Parents should not get out of their vehicles for any reason nor talk on cell phones while in drop off line. Please do not have a conference/conversation with the supervising staff; if you need to come inside for any reason, please park in designated visitors parking. Children should remain in child restraint seats any time the vehicle is moving. Please remain in the same lane throughout the car rider process.
§ Exiting vehicle: Students will exit their vehicle when greeted by PES staff. Please ensure that your child is prepared to exit by having your child’s money, notes, book bag, etc. ready before you enter the drop off area. Students should walk in front of the vehicle exited.
§ Exiting drop off area: Do not move your vehicle until PES staff has given you the ok to move. When exiting, please look ahead and behind when moving your car. Please be patient. Children are precious cargo and will be provided the safest environment possible.

Afternoon Car Rider Procedures:
§ Operates from 2:30 pm – 2:45 pm: Car rider registration forms should be completed and returned as soon as possible. Each family will be issued a car rider number as forms are returned. PES will furnish two car rider permits per family for use in various vehicles. If you need additional permits, you may purchase those (2) for $1.
§ Supervision provided by PES staff: Please clearly display the car rider number as you enter the car rider line. Students will be dismissed to vehicles as the car rider number appears. Please ensure that your student(s) know their number. If you or the person picking up your child does not have an official PES permit, you will be asked to pull forward and proceed to the front office to pick up your child.
§ Loading vehicle/Exiting car rider line: Students should know their car rider number and listen for supervising PES staff members to call their number as vehicles move into the loading zone. Once vehicles are loaded, they will not be allowed to leave the line by driving around others. All loaded vehicles will be dismissed in an orderly fashion. Please pull forward when directed to do so by the staff and be attentive of when the line is stopping. Parents should remain in their vehicle at all times and should not talk/text on cell phones while in the pick-up line.
PES has instituted these car rider procedures for the safety of our students. Please follow these procedures to help us maintain safe and secure areas during drop-off/pick-up.
