Arrival and Dismissal Procedures

Pick-up & Drop-off: In effort to have all students in their classrooms before the tardy bell rings at 8:00, please allot plenty of time for car loop traffic, especially on days with inclement weather. Dogs are not allowed on school grounds during school hours.

Parking Lot Procedures: If you are using the car loop, you must remain in your vehicle at all times and pull all the way forward. If you would like to walk your student to the school entrance, you must park in the parking lot and walk your student across the car loop using the crosswalk.

•Drop off Info:

We begin our day with a soft start. Students may arrive at school starting at 7:50 AM. and all students are expected to be in their classrooms by 8:00 AM. Students ONLY can enter through their grade level door. If students are not in the building by 8:00 AM, they will need to enter through the main entrance and will be marked tardy.

•Dismissal:

For dismissal, students have multiple choices and they need to know which one they are. Please discuss this with your child.

We dismiss our students at 2:45 and students that are being picked up in the car loop line will walk to the front with their teacher and wait until they see you. Please note, if you have children in multiple grades, each child will be with their teacher until you pull through the pick up lane.

BUS RIDER:

• Your should have already heard from transportation in your child is riding the bus. Each grade level has a staff member that will gather our bus riders and walk them to the bus.

DISCOVERY CLUB:

• If your child is registered for Discovery Club, the kids and walk to the cafeteria/gym.

CAR LOOP:

• If you are picking up your child and staying in the car, they are a car rider. They will walk out with their teacher and wait with their teacher until they see you drive up.

WALKER:

• If you are parking your car and walking to your child or they are allowed to walk home, they will walk out to a designated spot (check with your teacher) and they will stay with that teacher until you pick them up or they start walking home.

Below are examples we have been asked about:

CAR RIDER First Example:

You have a child in 4th grade, 2nd grade and Kindergarten. You enter the parking lot, a staff member sees you and radios to each grade level. First YOU stay IN The car. please do not get out of your car. Second, the teacher helps your child move to the front of the group and waits for you. As you drive past the 4th grade group, your child gets in the car and you continue on around the loop. As you pass the 2nd grade, your 2nd grader gets in the car and you continue around the loop to the Kindergarten area, where your kindie gets into the car and you leave the parking lot.

CAR RIDER Second example:

You have a 2nd grader you are picking up and you enter the parking line. The staff sees your car and radios to 2nd grade. You will stay in the pick up lane until you have your child. Once your child gets into your car, you may then pull out of the pick up lane and go to the drive through lane on the left and proceed safely out of the parking lot.
