🐎🚗 Thank You, Mustangs, for a Great First Pickup! 🚗🐎
Thank you to all of our parents and caretakers for a great first day of dismissal! We know our car line was longer than usual, and we truly appreciate everyone’s patience as we wrapped up Day 1 of the 2026–2027 school year.
Our number one goal is to get every student home safely, and that means it will take a little extra time to load and dismiss our students—especially during these first few weeks as everyone learns the routines.
📢 A few important reminders:
🚌 At CTE, we have bus riders and parent pickup. If you’d like to avoid the longer car line, consider having your student ride the bus.
🚗 If you choose parent pickup, please stay in the car line and keep your parent pickup tag clearly displayed so our staff and Safety Patrols can easily see it.
😎 And remember, Mustangs… NO CUTS! As kids used to say back in the day, we’re all waiting our turn! 😉🐴
📞 If you have a last-minute emergency that affects your pickup plans, please call the front office. We will work with you to determine the best available option.
Thank you for your patience, cooperation, and understanding as we get our dismissal routines running smoothly. We appreciate you helping us keep the herd safe!
Great first day, Mustangs! Let’s keep running strong! 💙🐎
