Pulaski K8 School

As we prepare for a great school year, please review our arrival and dismissal procedures to help keep all students safe and ensure traffic flows as smoothly as possible. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated! Pulaski Patriots

Due to limited availability and parking, we are not able to accommodate any parents es**rting their children to their classrooms. Please limit the amount of school supplies sent on the first day. We ask that you gradually send in their items throughout the week to ensure students can carry them to their classroom.

• Students should only enter or exit the vehicle between the cones.
• Pull forward as directed by staff.

As this is a new dismissal procedure, we appreciate your patience and grace as we work together to ensure a safe and efficient process for everyone.

🚌 Bus Riders

• Bus riders will receive a color-coded wristband during the first week of school.
• Please do not remove the wristband, as it helps staff ensure students board the correct bus.

• Military walkers will be es**rted to the designated pickup area near the HAAF gate and across Perimeter Rd. if no adult es**rt is needed.

📢 Attention SCCPSS Families! Pulaski Patriots

Beginning in the 2026–2027 school year, Georgia law regarding personal electronic devices in schools will change. To help families better understand these updates and how they will be implemented across the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, parents and guardians are invited to attend an upcoming Parent Information Session on May 14, 2026.

During these sessions, district representatives will discuss:

✔️ The district’s chosen cell phone storage solution

Multiple session times are available throughout the day to provide flexibility for families. Please review the flyer for meeting times and additional details.
