Driveline

Driveline is a program we use to coordinate a quick student release in a safe, quick, and orderly manner. Driveline minimizes student exposure to weather conditions, parent wait time, students wandering around school grounds, and local traffic challenges.

Driveline Numbers

Each family is assigned a unique identifier number or Family ID. Families will receive their driveline tags at the Back to School Open House or from their child after their first day of school. If you attended Harris Park last year, your number will be the same. Extra tags may be requested by calling or emailing the school.

How does Driveline work?

Once a staff member enters your family number, the program sends a message to the teachers of all children in your household. Teachers will then release your child to go to your location of pick up.

Place your number on your vehicle's rear view mirror for pick up
Display your number visibly prior to the stop at Winona Ct and 75th Ave
Or, roll your window down and say your number to the staff at the stop
If you walk to the building, or pick your child up to the South of the building, say or show your number to the staff
If someone other than the primary caregivers are picking up, make sure that person is listed on your Infinite Campus Portal and knows your number or has the card and that you have shared the pick up process with them

Walk your child up to the Hug Zone located outside the front doors, gated entrances
Hug your child and allow them to independently walk in to the school
Due to the number of families at Harris Park, we ask that families utilize the hug ‘n’ go and not remain on property beyond dropping off or picking up children
If you are walking in to pick your child up, please make direct eye contact with the teacher prior to asking your child to leave

The same process will occur for pick up
Have your ID ready for verification and the teacher will sign your child out
Students will only be released directly to a verified and approved adult (18 years or older) listed on infinite campus
