At CDE, we are very fortunate to have several daycare vans and after school program vans that are available to pick your child up if you cannot be at home when they get home.  

Please understand that we do not have an after school care program and staff is off duty at 3:20 pm.  If you cannot pick your child up by this time and they do not ride the bus or walk, please consider signing them up for one of the following programs, each of which have vans that pick up at the school in the afternoon:

The Bethlehem Center
South Chattanooga Recreation Center
Alton Park Child Development Center


MORNING DROP OFF

Car drop off in the morning is in the front circle near the main entrance.  PLEASE do not pull into the far lane to drop off your student.  Please do not pull in to the parking lot to drop off.   This is for the safety of YOUR child.  

AFTERNOON PICK UP

Afternoon car pick up is the same.  Students will be picked up in the back near the playground.  PLEASE do not park in the front circle.  The front circle is for bus pick up ONLY.

WALKERS, BUS AND VAN RIDERS

All walkers will be dismissed before car and bus riders to ensure their safety.  

Van riders will leave as their vans arrive. 
Buses will leave as their buses arrive. 

For the safety of ALL STUDENTS, NO TRANSPORTATION changes can be taken over the phone.  You may email your child's teacher or send them a message (if they allow) to tell them if you have a change.  

There will be NO STUDENTS dismissed after 2:30 pm.  The front doors will remain locked from 2:30 pm until dismissal begins to ensure a smooth and timely dismissal.
