Car-Rider Route

Student car riders should be picked up and dropped off at the front of the school in the car rider line. Do not park and walk your child across the parking lot unless your child arrives after 8:35 am.

Note: Each vehicle is required to have a TLE Car Rider Tag. Families can request as many tags as needed.

• Enter the car-rider lane off Harrington Drive
• To keep traffic moving efficiently, vehicles will be double-stacked in two lanes after entering the driveway. Remain in the double-stacked lanes until reaching the merge cones located in the final curve before the school.
• Ensure your car rider tag is clearly visible so staff members can quickly identify it. At the merge cones, a staff member will call your child's name. Your child will then be directed to the front of the school. A second staff member will call their name again and assign a cone number. At the assigned cone, a staff member will assist your child in entering the vehicle.
• Note: If you do not have a car rider tag, you will be asked to park and present your ID to a staff member at the door. The staff member will verify the ID with the receptionist, and a new tag will be issued. You will then need to rejoin the car rider line to pick up your child. 
• Please make arrangements to have your child picked up by 4:25 pm.

Splendora ISD provides school bus transportation for students living outside the Harrington Trails community. Students residing within Harrington Trails must arrange to walk, bike, or travel by car.

Walkers and Bicycle Rider Procedures

Eligibility Requirements

• Neighborhood Residents: Students living in the Harrington Trails neighborhood may walk or ride bicycles to school.
• Required Documentation: A signed permission slip must be on file in the front office before a student can walk or ride.

Morning Arrival Procedures

• Crossing Guard Hours: Guards are stationed at the crosswalk from 7:50 a.m. to 8:35 a.m.
• Arrival Timing: Students must not arrive at the crosswalk prior to 7:50 a.m.
• Severe Weather: Crossing guards will not be stationed during active thunder and lightning.

Afternoon Dismissal Procedures

• Staff Supervision: Timber Lakes staff members will safely escort walkers and bicycle riders across the street into the neighborhood.
• Meeting Location: Parents should wait for their children at the neighborhood park.
• Parking Restrictions: Parking in the staff lot to wait for walkers or bike riders is strictly prohibited.
• Pre-K and Kindergarten must be released directly to an adult across the street and cannot walk alone.
• Sibling Escorts: Pre-K and Kindergarten students may walk with an older sibling if authorized on the permission slip.

Weather Safety: Walkers and bike riders will not be released after school if there is lightning. Please stay weather-aware and contact the front office if you require alternative transportation due to lightning.

Car Rider Tags: We encourage parents to request a car rider tag as a backup option in case the weather prevents your child from walking.

Responsibility Beyond the Crosswalk: Once students have safely crossed the street, they will not be accompanied by a staff member. At that point, Splendora ISD is no longer responsible for the student.
