Arrival/Dismissal
Car Rider Procedures
Mustang Creek Family & Friends,
I want to take this opportunity to welcome you to Mustang Creek Elementary for the new school year. We are confident that this will be an incredible year for all! To ensure the safety of all children at Mustang Creek, please take a moment to review the arrival and dismissal procedures for car riders.
Arrival
Arrival
All students should be dropped off at the east side of the building. No students should be dropped off in front of the building, on the west side of the building, or across the street.
Students may arrive by car NO EARLIER than 7:15 a.m. When dropping off your student, please pull forward to the end of the metal rail on the ramp as to allow 6-8 cars to unload at the same time. Mustang Creek teachers will be on duty to greet students and will help students find their way to breakfast and/or the gym.
The east side parking lot is the drop off and pick up for car riders.
DO NOT DROP STUDENTS OFF IN THE BUS LOOP.
Morning Drop Off begins at 7:15 a.m.
All vehicles MUST turn right on 15th after dropping off/picking up your child.
East Doors will be shut at 7:40 a.m.
Parents will need to accompany students to check-in at the office.
Students will be counted tardy.
Dismissal
Dismissal
Children are not released from the office after 2 pm to allow for focus on school dismissal; please plan accordingly if you need your child released prior to end of day.
Please watch the video below for details on our dismissal process:
Afternoon Pick-Up
Tags must be displayed clearly. If forgotten, parents will need to show ID in the office before the child is released.
Any change of transportation, needs to be communicated to the office staff no later than 1:30 p.m.
Do NOT leave transportation information on the school answering machine.
A Few More Notes
School in Session 7:40 a.m. - 2:35 p.m.
Any student arriving after 7:40 will need to be signed in at the office.
All changes in after-school transportation MUST be in writing and sent to school with your child.
In the event of an emergency change of transportation, you MUST call the office at 405) 324-4567 by 1:30 p.m. to ensure that your child receives the message.
NO CHANGES OF TRANSPORTATION WILL BE ACCEPTED AFTER 1:30 p.m.
Please keep in mind that 7:30 - 8:30 a.m. and 2:00 - 2:50 p.m. are the busiest times in the office. Please make every attempt to communicate any non-emergency type requests of the office personnel between 8:30 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. We would also be happy to help you after the students are dismissed at 2:50 p.m.
NO student will be released without a “Mustang Creek Car Rider Sign.” Parents will be directed to the front office if they do not have a sign. Please contact the office if you need additional car rider signs.
All car riders are dismissed at 2:35 p.m. on the east side of the building. Make sure the “Mustang Creek Car Rider” sign is in the front car window. All unattended cars must be parked in a parking space. Cars may not be left unattended on the curb as this inhibits the flow of traffic.
Please DO NOT get out of your car to wait on your child. This will help in dismissing at a much quicker pace.
Children not picked up by 2:50 p.m. will be escorted to the front office to wait.
The safety of our children at Mustang Creek Elementary is our ultimate priority. We are diligently working to make our arrival and dismissal procedures as efficient as possible. Thank you for your patience and flexibility.
