Special Arrival and Dismissal Edition
Hello Westridge Families!
Arrival
8:00 Students begin arriving to the following locations (also refer to map below) where there will be supervision from 8:00-8:10:
- Kindergarten: gather at your classroom doors
- 1st and 2nd Grade: line up in front of building by grade
- 3rd, 4th and 5th Grade: line up under the covered area by grade
Please do not drop students off before 8:00 as there will be no supervision before this time. The playground is not open before school.
8:10 Building Opens for Students
Please say farewells to your student outside the building. At 8:10, the bell will ring and a staff member will open the building at 8:10. One class or grade will be announced at a time to enter the building.
8:20 The School Day Begins
If your child arrives after 8:20, they will need to enter through the front of the building to check in at the front office before they head to class.
Breakfast: Students getting breakfast will pick-up breakfast by the library when the building opens at 8:10 and bring it to their classrooms to eat.
Car Line Expectations:
- Use only the right lane for drop-off
- Once your student has exited the car, use the left lane to exit the turnaround
- Parents remain in the car (if you want to get out to help your child, you may park in the lot or legally in the neighborhood to do this)
- Students should only exit from the right side of the car
Dismissal
Dismissal Plans: Please be sure you have filled out the dismissal survey sent home in the welcome letter from your student's teacher and the bus survey from the office.
Change of Dismissal Plans
If you need to change your students regular going home plans for a day, please email, call, or stop by the office no later than noon on the day of change (murphya@loswego.k12.or.us and stewardj@loswego.k12.or.us). Please do not send this information to teachers, as they are often unable to check email, or may even have a sub who would not receive the information. The office will then communicate the change to your child's teacher.
If your student walks or bikes home, they will be dismissed from their exterior classroom door. If you plan to meet your child, please make a plan to meet them close to their exterior door. As much as possible, we would like to keep the front of the school and blacktop areas clear for the car line and bus dismissal. Please be sure students know your meeting spot.
