If you are dropping your child off, please use the Kiss and Ride parking lot which is the first parking lot as you arrive at Panorama ES. Staff will be present to assist so that traffic can continue to flow. We are asking that you please use all parking lots located on the PES Campus. Please keep in mind the safety of our students and parents who are walking in the parking lot. Let’s work together to keep everyone safe.
School Dismissal Routine:
In order to ensure the safety of our students, children who are being picked up for early dismissal must be signed out each day. We check I.D. and match students according to those individuals listed on the emergency card or through a written note only. We will not be able to accept verbal permission or changes in dismissal arrangements over the phone for safety reasons. Students will not be permitted to be signed out for early dismissal after 1:15 pm. If you need to make changes to your child’s emergency form you are welcome to contact the office to update that information or do it electronically on the Parent Portal.
Dismissal procedures begin at 1:40 pm and all students must be picked up no later than 2:00 pm.
School Visitors:
School Visitors are required to make an appointment with the school prior to arrival if conducting registration or teacher conferences. All visitors will be required to sign-in through the PGCPS Raptor System and display visitor's badge if entering the building. Per the CDC, masks will be optional inside schools and office buildings for students, staff, and visitors regardless of vaccination status. Let’s work together to keep each other safe.
