In our dismissal lines, parents/guardians must display the Arrival/Dismissal Placard provided by CCS. If you do not display the placard, you will be asked to park your vehicle and go to the main office and show ID before your child is released. We do this not to irritate you or slow you down. We do this for the safety of our students. 2. When requesting an early dismissal, please remember to add the 5-10 minutes of time necessary in the main office when you arrive to pick-up your child. As an example, if you need to be driving off campus by 1:30pm, please request an early dismissal time of 1:20pm and arrive at 1:20pm to initiate the sign-out process.
