Valley Springs School District: Campus Drop-Off & Pick-Up Info
Welcome back, Tiger families! We are so excited to see everyone this week!
To help arrival and dismissal run as smoothly as possible, please review our Campus Drop-Off & Pick-Up Guide. As a reminder, the Elementary entrance and Rally Hill Road are our main traffic hubs and will see heavy traffic. We ask for everyone's grace and patience during the first few weeks as we all adjust to the routine!
Crucial Safety Rule: Afternoon Pick-Up (3:15 PM)
Student safety is our highest priority. Following safety concerns and close calls last year, no vehicles will be permitted on campus before 3:15 PM.
Applies to All Programs: This includes pick-ups for the Little Red School House and Preschool.
Dismissal Time: Students are not dismissed until 3:15 PM. At that time, you may pull up to the regular pick-up spot by the old gym.
DO NOT LINE UP ON THE HIGHWAY:
Please do not park or wait along Highway 65. Stacking cars on the highway is a severe hazard. The Sheriff’s Department and State Police will be actively monitoring Highway 65—they will move vehicles along and issue traffic tickets to anyone waiting on the shoulder.
Morning Drop-Off Reminder
Drop-Off Time: Students cannot be dropped off before 7:30 AM. Staff supervision begins at 7:30 AM, so please hold students in your vehicle until that time.
Thank you for your cooperation and for making student safety a priority. Together, we’re going to have a fantastic school year!
