Transportation Changes

It is essential that your student’s afternoon transportation is arranged prior to school each day. Transportation changes must be made in writing and received by 2:30pm in a note to the teacher, fax to the school (843-769-2236), or an email to springfield_attendance@charleston.k12.sc.us. 

There are no exceptions to this.  

Car Riders

All students who ride by car will be dropped off and picked up in front of the building. Drivers should enter from Pinehurst Avenue in a single file manner. Cars should exit only down Pinehurst Avenue. Please click below to view the transportation map. 

Transportation Map

Students who ride in cars will be dismissed at 3:30 pm. You must have your Security Car Placard. Cars without a placard must park and come into the main office after dismissal is over. Replacement or additional placards may be purchased for $5.00.

Note: Breakfast

Students report directly to their classrooms unless they are eating breakfast. Cafeteria will stop serving breakfast for car rider students at 8:35 am. The instructional day begins at 8:40 am.

Bus Riders

Buses will leave the school as soon as they are loaded in the afternoon. For more information on bus routes and communication, please use the link below to visit Durham’s website.

Walkers/Bikers

Walkers and bikers will be released after the buses and car riders depart. Parents who choose to walk home with their children must wait until walkers and bikers have been released. 

Early Check-Outs

No students may be checked out after 2:00 pm. Identification must be shown in the office when a child is picked up. For the safety of our children, only parents, someone on the emergency card, or someone that the parent has indicated in writing ahead of time, will be allowed to pick up a child.
