Dear Joe Carlson Parents and Guardians,
As a reminder, student pick up after school is at the north gates located on at the playground area of the school. Only students who are picked up by DUSD Transportation, Day Care, Caring Connections and Preschool will report to the front office breezeway. Students walking home through the front area of the school will be escorted to the crosswalk by staff on Louis Ave.
When picking up students from the playground gates, please make sure to be cautious and vigilant of students and parents who walk with their children. One of the priorities of Joe Carlson is everyone’s safety and well-being.
Please contact our office if you have any questions.
