Dropping Off/Picking Up Students to/from PE/Specials

It is imperative that students are dropped off and picked up on time when they go to PE and Specials.  It throws our schedule off when someone is late picking their students up.  It also makes it difficult for our specialists to teach the amazing lessons they have planned.
