You will receive two car tags per child and family to hang on your vehicle mirror. We will look for the car tag when you come through the pick-up line. If you forget the tag, please park in the parking lot, walk across on the crosswalk, and pick your child up from the teacher. If a car tag is lost, they will cost $2.00 for a new one. Our release time at ACPS is 2:20PM.
