Afternoon Dismissal
🚗 Car Rider Dismissal
To help us dismiss students more quickly and efficiently, Oak Hammock K-8 is implementing a new two-lane car rider dismissal process this school year.
Important: This change applies to afternoon dismissal only. Morning arrival procedures remain the same.Here’s what families need to know:
• Have your PikMyKid number ready at check-in.
• Pull into the next available lane and move all the way forward.
• Our new process allows staff to load up to 16 vehicles at one time, helping us reduce wait times.
• Follow all staff directions as we safely alternate vehicle movement.
• Please be patient during the first week as everyone learns the new routine.
Our team has spent time planning and practicing this process to make dismissal safer, smoother, and more efficient for families.
How Dismissal Works
- Students remain inside until parents arrive on campus
- The system notifies staff to dismiss your child (Pikmykid system)
- Students are escorted and placed safely into vehicles
Parent Responsibilities
- Parents must remain in their vehicles at all times
- Follow all staff directions
- Continue moving forward in the pick-up line
⚠️ Following procedures allows us to safely and efficiently load multiple students
🚶 Walker Dismissal
Walker Dismissal Reminders for Oak Hammock Families 
Walker Dismissal LocationAll student walkers will be escorted to the crossing guard at California Blvd. & Savona Blvd.
Walker Dismissal Occurs in WavesTo support student safety and an orderly dismissal process, walkers are released in waves, beginning with our oldest Ospreys and ending with our youngest students.
Families and older siblings who are meeting student walkers should wait at the California & Savona intersection, as students will be released directly to the crossing guard location.
Parents and siblings should not wait on campus for walker dismissal.
Important Reminders All walkers cross with the crossing guard at California & Savona. Walkers must be able to leave campus independently. Staff supervision ends once students are released at the crosswalk. If your child is not able to walk independently, please choose Car Rider transportation.
Help Us Keep Our Ospreys Safe and Be Good NeighborsFor student safety, families should not park, wait, or arrange student pick-up in nearby private parking lots.
As members of the Oak Hammock community, we can be good neighbors by keeping business parking lots available for customers and ensuring students remain on designated pedestrian routes.
Please review these walker safety expectations with your child:
• Use sidewalks and designated crosswalks.
•Follow all directions from crossing guards.
• Do not walk through parking lots or between parked vehicles.
• Avoid areas that are not designated for pedestrian travel.
• Stay alert to traffic and surroundings.
• Walk directly home or to your family’s designated meeting location.
Thank you for partnering with us to keep our Ospreys safe and ensure a smooth dismissal process for all students.
