Lawton Elementary

Car Ramp Procedure

Due to construction, be aware that there may be car line shifts during the year. Also, all car rider students will arrive and depart from the main car line. 

In order to make dismissal efficient, timely and SAFE for all children, the following procedures have been developed. 

AM Drop off – The car ramp is used for dropping off students in the morning. Students are not permitted to retrieve backpacks or other items from the trunk of the cars, as this is a safety hazard. Upon arrival, students should sit in the designated area for their grade level. 

PM Pick up – The car ramp is used for dismissal of car riders only. The parking lot is not a pedestrian area. The safety of students is compromised when parents park and walk up to pick up their child. Please stay in your car and follow the established procedures.

Dismissal - Car riders are dismissed at 3:05 PM daily, 2:05 PM Wednesdays. Please keep in mind that students need time to reach the ramp and get seated. Do not use your car horn or call your child to the car. A staff member will begin calling students to their vehicles. Please have the Lawton Car Rider sign visible with the child's last name & grade or name of the carpool in bold print. 

It is the responsibility of parent(s) to ensure that students are picked up on time. Seminole County Public School employees will maintain supervision of students until 3:15 PM. Following this time, and after all efforts have been made to locate an emergency contact, Oviedo Police Department will be called to assist in this effort.
