If a parent would like for their child to walk home for one day because they are unable to pick them up, or they need to go home with their relative or friend that is at the Grizzly Campus, the parent will need to:

  1. Write a letter/note stating the student name, grade, date, reason, parent name, and signature
  2. Student will need to give the letter/note to the Main Office
  3. Main Office Secretary will write the student a TEMPORARY walker or bus pass for the date stated on the letter/note only.

WITHOUT THIS LETTER, WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GIVE THE STUDENT A TEMPORARY WALKER OR BUS PASS

Regular Pick-Up at the High School Campus

All GOCA Campuses use a dismissal program called PikMyKid. With this program, each student receives their own individual dismissal number. Dismissal numbers are given per student, not per family. 

Whenever the dismissal number is put into the PikMyKid system, the student name pops up in the teacher’s classroom signaling the student to be dismissed.

All you have to do:

  1.  Enter through Fromage Way
  2.  Get in the dismissal line
  3. Give dispatcher the number(s)
  4. Wait until student comes to the vehicle

You can tell the dispatcher the dismissal number by rolling down your window and telling them OR by placing a tag or piece of paper with the student’s dismissal number(s) written on it on the car’s dashboard so it can be visible to the dispatcher.

If you are picking up multiple siblings or students at the High School Campus, make sure to give the dispatcher ALL of the students’ dismissal numbers. Do not give the dispatcher a dismissal number of a student/sibling that is not at school that day.

If you would like a family member or friend to pick up your student, simply inform them of the student’s dismissal number which they will present to the dispatcher.

High School Campus dismissal will begin at 3:15 pm

Only enter in the highlighted area during dismissal.

Do not enter on the red marked side of the parking lot
