Parent Pick Up Tag Requirements:

  • A current PPU tag is required for all students being picked up through the line.
  • A request may be made for up to 3 PPU tags for authorized guardians and multiple students may be listed.
  • If a replacement tag is required, please see the front office for a new PPU tag.
  • Parents will enter the PPU line at the North Gate entrance for student pick up.
  • Please remain in your vehicle at all times.
  • If you do not have your PPU tag during pick up, you will be required to park your vehicle and go to the front office to provide proper identification to ensure you an authorized adult to pick up the student. Once a PPU tag has been issued, you will then be asked to return to the PPU line to pick up your child.
