  3. If parents are dropping off their children at Green Acres School to walk down to McLaughlin Middle School, please use the crosswalk that staff is monitoring.

Dismissal


  1. 2:20 Buses are dismissed first. Cars will not be allowed to be parked where the buses are picking up students until all buses leave.

  2. 2:25 Walkers and Riders. If you are picking someone up, please follow the directives of McLaughlin staff. We are mindful of being efficient as we know you are all very busy.


We strive to keep the lines moving, so please move and pull up as far down the line as possible when directed to. Your child can walk to you.
