Dear Colt Families,

We would like to inform each of you of our pick up/drop off procedures at Continental School. This format has been designed with safety in mind.  Below you will find a diagram as well as an explanation of our new procedure. If you have any questions, please direct them to our Director of Student Services, Steven Lathen, at slathen@csd39.org or 625-4581 ext 7400.

Changes: Effective August 4, 2025

  1. “Middle School Only” Pick Up will now be located in the front of the school by the front office entrance.
  2. Special Education Bus Loading and Unloading will now happen in the front of the school under the solar panels.

If you drop off your students after 8 am, please park in front of campus and walk them into the office to sign them in so they can receive a pass to class.


Thank you for your continued patience, support and understanding as we continue to provide the safest environment for our students in all areas of our school.

out of the pickup line and into the round-a-bout, (waiting zone), where a staff member will reunite you with your student(s).
