Reilly is committed to ensuring that we get your children to school and back home in a safe and timely manner. We are dismissing almost 500 children daily.
We need you help to ensure that we operate a safe, smooth, and respectful dismissal for our students, staff on duty, and parents. If parents and staff work together with the established procedures, we can get your children to you in a safe and timely manner.
Morning Arrival Procedures
We need your help to ensure that we have a safe and smooth arrival!
All students will enter through the main entrance on Lippitt. Morning drop off begins at 7:30 a.m. School starts at 8:00 a.m. We recommend that you drop off your child no later than 7:45 a.m. Students are expected to be in class and ready for instruction at 8:00 a.m. Your child is considered tardy at 8:00 a.m.
Arrival Reminders
1. Lippitt and Sunland are one-way streets before and after school.
2. Parents can drop off in the driveway, or on Lippitt. The lane closest to the school on Lippitt is a through lane (Please do not exit your car). If you would like to get out of your car to assist or walk your student, please park on the opposite side of Lippitt. Do not block driveways or alleys. If you park on the opposite side of Lippitt, you and your student are required to utilize the designated cross walk (orange cones).
3. Please adhere to directions given by campus personnel on duty.
4. Follow all directions on the Arrival Map.
DISMISSAL
We need your help to ensure that we have a safe and smooth dismissal.
Dismissal is at 3:15 p.m. each day. Please ensure your child is picked up no later than 3:25 p.m. If you are late, your child will be taken to the main entrance for pick up. The dismissal locations are as follows:
- Pre-K students and Ms. Dauphin's Kindergarten class will be dismissed at the exterior door of their individual classrooms located on the Sunland side (first wing) of the building.
- Kindergarten students (except Ms. Dauphin) will be dismissed at the exterior entrance on Sunland (first wing). Parents are required to line up behind the blue line on the sidewalk.
- 1st and 2nd Grade students will be dismissed at the exterior door on Sunland (second wing). Parents are required to line up behind the blue line on the sidewalk.
- 3rd, 4th, and 5th Grade students will be dismissed on the Neering side of the building.
ALL GRADE LEVELS WILL UTILIZE PICKUP CARDS DURING DISMISSAL.
Pre-K - 2nd parents will hold the dismissal cards up at the dismissal location.
3rd - 5th parents will put the dismissal card in the window of the vehicle, or hold up the sign.
Dismissal signs have been distributed. If you need an additional sign, please contact the school.
Dismissal Reminders
1. Lippitt and Sunland are one-way streets before and after school.
For safety and traffic flow, please utilize the cross walks when crossing.
2. Traffic that is heading straight on Lippitt toward Jupiter interferes with traffic that is driving on Lippitt toward Neering. While it is not a one way past the stop sign, we encourage parents heading straight on Lippitt toward Jupiter to turn right on Sunland.
3. Students cannot be picked up, or dropped off in the middle of the street.
4. To prevent traffic from backing up, please do not stop in the middle of the street unless staff, parents, and students are in the crosswalk.
5. Do not block driveways or alleys.
6. Please adhere to directions given by campus personnel on duty.
7. If you are unable to find a parking space, please make one round around the school.
8. For the safety of all, we encourage you not to bring animals on campus during dismissal. If you do, you need to maintain control of your animal and keep your distances from other families and staff.
9. Follow all directions on the Dismissal Map.
10. Parents will need to remain behind the designated areas during dismissal.
1st and 2nd Grade Dismissal
- 1st grade parents will line up on the right hand side on the sidewalk.
- 2nd grade parents will line up on the left hand side on the sidewalk.
- Parents will hold up the dismissal cards.
- Teachers will dismiss the student.
3rd-5th Grade Dismissal
- Neering - Parents will only line up on the lane closest to the school. Although Neering is a two way street, we will operate dismissal as if it was a one way street. There will be no loading across from the school. When students see their parents car, they will be sent to the loading zone (between the cones near the staff parking lot entrance). Students will load, and cars will move up in the line. We ask that parents not park on the opposite side and walk across the street. This creates an unsafe environment for our staff, parents, and students.
- Walk up parents will line up in the designated location with the name card. This will ensure that staff can monitor the safe transition of students during the dismissal process.
- The staff will start calling students to cars first so that the car line begins to move. Once we have called the first part of the car line and begin loading, we will begin calling walk up parents. This will ensure that the traffic flow is not impacted on Lippit, Sunland, and Flamingo.
