Arrival and Dismissal Procedures
School Hours are 8:45-3:35
Arrival and Dismissal Procedures
Arrival:
Doors will open at 8:35. Students will be entering the building through the main entrance. They may stop and get breakfast in the cafeteria.
All children who are late to school after 8:45 a.m. will need to sign in at the office.
Morning Drop Off:
Long staff members will begin arrival at 8:35. Students arriving to school before 8:35 will not have adult supervision outside.
In the morning, caregivers will drop off and students will enter the building by using the main entrances indicated on the image below. We ask that caregivers do not get out of the car in the pick-up line. We will have adults direct students on the crosswalk. If you need to walk your child to the front doors please park and do not go through the drop off line.
Afternoon Pick-Up:
Car Riders:
We ask that all caregivers download the PikMyKid app, see information below. This app allows you to check in and adds your child's name to our list. We also have a staff member outside to assist in this checking in process. Caregivers that pick-up will enter through the parking lot's main entrance and form two lines. If your student is a pick-up they will wait in the gym until their name is called. Caregivers do not get out of the car. We will have staff members walk your children out and to the cars after the car line stops moving.
*This process is slower the first few days as our youngest students learn the routine
Walkers will be dismissed out the front doors.
Bus riders will be walked to the bus by a teacher.
