Parents, 

Please help us keep our car line moving smoothly and efficiently by displaying your car rider sign in your window as you pull up for pick up.  At times, we have different staff who will be watching for the signs so we may not know all of you by your car.  We appreciate your help!   If you need another sign please email Mrs. Larson in the office larsonj@sfcougars.k12.ia.us

Morning Drop Off/Afternoon Pick Up at Durant - Thank you for following our procedures to help us get all cars loaded and on their way today in 8 minutes!  Just a few reminders:

• Please remember that the north side of 5th street is a no parking area.  We don't want parents and students to walk between the line of cars that are unloading on the south side of the street.

• Please plan to have your child(ren) exit and enter your car from the passenger side so we don't have students walking between cars.   

• If you need additional car signs for other people who may pick up your child(ren), email Mrs. Larson at larsonj@sfcougars.k12.ia.us.  We did make a list Monday and will get those to you Tuesday at dismissal.
