2023-2024 SARASOTA ACADEMY OF THE ARTS DROP OFF & DISMISSAL
CAR RIDER INFORMATION
Car Line Procedures: As you pull in for the Car Line, please be aware that cars are behind you and that you need to move up as close to the next car in front of the car line to avoid backup on McIntosh Road.
During morning drop off, your child will be let out of vehicles starting at 8:15 am. At that time, a teacher will greet the student, and send them towards the entrance of the school. Students who arrive before 8:15 am must be signed into before care by a parent and be enrolled in before care.
Morning Car Line is from 8:15AM to 8:30AM
Students should be in their classroom by 8:15 am and in their seats by 8:30 am. Any students arriving after 8:30 am will be considered tardy. A parent/guardian must sign the student in at the front office, and from there the student will be sent to class.
After School Pick Up Line is from 4:00PM-4:30PM
The dismissal times are staggered to try to alleviate congestion and backup of traffic on McIntosh Road. Elementary school students can be picked up starting at 4:00PM and Middle school students at 4:15PM. There is also not much parking available on campus; therefore, we are asking parents to use the Car Line or bus transportation in the mornings and afternoons.
In the afternoon, Car Line times are according to grade level. Elementary students will begin dismissal at 4:00 pm and Middle school students will begin dismissal at 4:15 pm. Students who are not picked by 4:30pm will automatically be sent to After Care. If your student is sent to After Care you will be billed.
Car Window Signs: Car tags will be distributed the first few days of school. You MUST HAVE this sign hanging in your vehicle in order to pick up your student(s) via the Car Pick Up Line. This safety protocol is for the protection of our students, your children.

We have been notified by the Sarasota County School Board that anyone that lives within a 2 to 5 mile radius of Sarasota Academy of the Arts and needs transportation, MUST sign up immediately. The county is offering “Pocket Pickup Bus Service” which means students must have transportation to a pick-up location where a bus will pick them up and transport the students to SAA. During the time the students are at the bus stop, waiting to be picked up, they must have an adult waiting with them.
You must register with Sarasota County Transportation to ride the bus. Click Here
There are currently two buses assigned to SAA for morning bus pick up and afternoon drop off and we will be using pocket pick ups. The first bus has three stops and will pick up at Osprey Avenue & Versailles Street, Wilkinson Elementary, and Linwood & Vincent. The second bus will stop at Bay Haven, Gocio Elementary, 8th & Dodge (near Tuttle Elementary), and Lockwood Ridge & Bay Street.
