Dear Parents,
Thank you very much for your patience today during dismissal. My staff and I have debriefed this evening and have the following update for you regarding Sibling Pick Up. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BELOW.
1. Starting tomorrow (8/19/26), Elementary students will STILL go to the cafeteria at 3:05pm.
2. Older siblings (grades 5-12) will pick up their younger (Elementary) siblings at 3:50pm from the cafeteria.
3. The sibling pairs and groups will walk across the courtyard to the gym JUST LIKE LAST YEAR. Mr. Chase Rickey or another staff will be there to monitor the sibling pairs.
4. Parents will park in the parking lot by the gym JUST LIKE LAST YEAR, walk over to the gym, and pick up their sibling pairs/groups.
Parents, you will be given a set of Sibling Pick Up passes tomorrow afternoon. One pass is for the outside of your younger child's backpack, one pass is for your older sibling's backpack, and the last pass is for you to show at the gym when you pick up your children.
We will continue to refine the dismissal process, but sincerely appreciate everyone who handed out water, fans, and offered umbrellas to those standing in the sun for several hours this afternoon. Thank you for your patience and support. I love being part of Gator Nation.
Have a great evening,
Ms. Dean, Head of School
