Mission: Provide comprehensive and high quality education in an inclusive social setting by professional, competent, and compassionate staff. Promote the growth and development of children and families while improving their quality of life in an ever changing society.
Arrival/Dismissal Procedures (Title/KDG/Dev.)
Title/Kindergarten (Red Tag)/Developmental Preschool (Green Tag)
If your child is a car rider, arrival and dismissal will be a car line procedure in the back of the building on Conwell. To enter the car line, you must follow 17th St. and turn LEFT on East Street, follow it around the curve (turns into Fairmont Street) and then turn LEFT on Conwell. Your passenger side door should be parallel to the sidewalk. We will dismiss car by car at the gate (look for the orange cones), so please pull up to the spot directly next to the cones when it’s your turn. If you pull to the end of the road, you will be asked to move to the back of the line. Please remain in your car, and a staff member will help escort your child into the building and then back to the car at dismissal. You will be provided a tag for your mirror that MUST be displayed. If you don’t have your tag, you will be asked to move to the end of the line in order to keep the flow of traffic moving.
Mid-Day DROP OFF
If you are DROPPING OFF your child for the PM session, please FLIP your tag backwards. This allows staff to dismiss children from the AM session more efficiently.
