Parent Pickup and Dropoff Info
Longbranch 17.18
First Day vs. Subsequent Days
Please, please, please have your child go home on day 1 exactly as they would go home every other day during the year. This significantly cuts back on the confusion with an already very confusing day for children and adults. This is not mandated, but highly recommended.
In General
You are WELCOME to drop your children off at school each morning by 8:40am. After 8:40am, they will be considered tardy and you will need to park in the front lot, walk them in, and sign in. Late arrivals do count toward perfect attendance and/or parent notes.
Children may be picked up from school by a parent or other designee. Parents are admitted to the cafeteria at 3:35pm via the side Children Inc. entrance. All pickups occur in the school's cafeteria. Students are signed out of school, parents are not signed in to the cafeteria. This means the signing for each child occurs when the child is in your custody.

PM Kindergarten Pickup: Occurs as above.
AM Kindergarten Pickup: Occurs in the main lobby. Enter the front bank of doors at 12:00pm.

MORNING DROPOFF 8:15-8:40am/PM KINDER 12:25pm DROPOFF
ENTRANCE DOOR
Students enter this side door of the school located by the library. There will be adults inside to direct them to their classrooms. This door locks at 8:40am. If there are not adults outside when you arrive, you must park in the lot and walk your child into school.
PULL FORWARD SIGN
This sign is set out each morning at the spot where students can begin exiting cars. Pull as far forward as you can and then please allow your child to exit the car so we can move as many cars out of the line as possible.
WHITE LINES
These white lines show your child where to walk up the sidewalk. They should stay to the right, closest to the grass.
PARENT DROPOFF is a one lane endeavor. These cones signal you to not pass, even if the line is moving slowly. When the volume of people increases, the line lengthens. Please plan accordingly. Passing cars in this lane is not safe for our children or families.
AM KINDER PICKUP: Please park in the lot and enter the front 6 doors to the left of the office entrance no earlier than 11:55am. You will wait in the front vestibule and sign out with a member of our office staff when the children are delivered to you by their paraeducators.
AFTERNOON PARENT PICKUP
ENTRANCE DOOR
This is the door to enter for parent pickup. There will be a line forming early, but I can promise you all that we typically have EVERYONE signed out in 7 minutes or less. You are welcome to wait in line, but you can also wait in cars in the parking lot until 3:35pm when the doors open.
NO PARKING ZONE
Never park on yellow curbs. This is a fire lane and is not safe for our children. We want to keep this front lane clear of any cars other than those using this as a right of way.
NO RIGHT OF WAY PARKING
This is a no parking zone. Please don't park along these island curbs in the right of way. Although they are not painted yellow, they are also not a parking zone.
This is a your parking area to pick up your child. The parking lot. If it is full when you arrive, please park at Cooper and walk over to Longbranch for pickup.
BIG YELLOW LIMOUSINES
Please also be reminded that there are big yellow limousines (aka school buses) that visit your neighborhoods daily that are at your service for transportation. We know that some schedules and demeanors to not mesh with this mode of transportation but we encourage as many of you as possible to use school buses for transport.
