We are Better TOGETHER!

What is the Orange Cone Zone for???

1. Kinder drop-off/pick-up - this allows our kinder parents who need a quicker drop-off/pick-up to get close to the kinder gate so our littles are not walking far to the gate. This zone might be for a kinder or younger grade student who needs help getting out of the car.
2. Last minute morning meltdown in the yellow drop off zone? Pull forward to the cone zone so you are not blocking the quick drop off line. We know things happen so this zone give you some grace without blocking the line.
3. Lunch box dump out in the car while in the yellow quick drop off zone? Pull forward to the cone zone, take the minute you need without blocking the line.
4. In the front of the pick-up line in the yellow zone and your student's not there?? Pull forward to the cone zone while you wait for your student so you don't block the yellow pick-up line.

Consider the Orange Cone Zone an area of grace. Need an extra minute? This is your place.

Gibson Drive Through Drop-Off/Pick-Up for student who can INDEPENDENTLY enter/exit vehicles on passenger side ONLY.

**Adults DO NOT exit the car**

• Students in grades 1-6 Enter AND Exit Lunch Table Gates ONLY (#2)
• Kindergarten students enter Kinder yard gate (#6).
• Note: Kindergarten students enter lunch table gate in the morning if they are getting breakfast

**The front gate next to the Hollow Hills tile mural will be closed for student entrance/exit. This is based on location of supervision and traffic flow. After school, Kinder siblings should enter the kinder yard at gate #5, the back side of the kinder yard, to pick up siblings. Students can then exit the kinder yard through the kinder gate (#6) with their sibling.

Families who cannot facilitate a "quick" drop-off/pick-up and/or have students who cannot independently exit their car, please park on the street or back parking lot and walk your student(s) to campus.

There have been a few adults who drive through the staff lot to double park in the lot, having students walk through the car line and parking lot to get to their car. This is a major safety issue. Please do not drive through the staff lot and/or park (double park) to drop-off/pick up your student.

Reminder: Right Turn ONLY when exiting front lot.

Please use the crosswalk. Be courteous to vehicles and walk in groups to cross the street to help keep traffic flowing. We have all been in a car when the flow of pedestrians keep coming as opposed to letting some cars go by and waiting to cross together as a group. If you see other families walking toward the crosswalk, wait a minute for them and cross together. This is especially true at the Edmunds Street crosswalk.

Lunch Table Gate: Opens at 7:40am for breakfast.

All other Gates: Open at 7:45am.

Our school day at Hollow Hills begins at 8:10am.

The first bell rings at 8:06am for students to line-up. Teachers meet students at their lines and walk them to class for an 8:10am start.

Students who arrive to the classroom after 8:10am are considered tardy.

Students who arrive late to school miss the morning check-in routine and vital instruction from their teacher. This can be disruptive to the class as a whole and cause teachers to have to stop what they are doing to update attendance, lunch count, and repeat instructions.

We do understand that life happens and despite everyone's best effort, sometimes students are late. The occasional late morning happens to everyone. Habitual tardiness is an issue that not only impacts the tardy student, but the entire class. Your efforts to arrive on time are greatly appreciated!

We need volunteers that would be willing to come and talk to our Hollow Hills students about their jobs. We will have tables set up on the blacktop, and you would be available to interact with the students that visit your station. In the past, volunteers have brought displays or items that represent their job. Some also like bringing stickers or other swag to give away. The students love that!

Volunteers for this event must meet the volunteer requirements. Career Day will run from about 11:45am to 1:15pm, but plan to arrive at 11am to set up. Lunch will be provided.

Thank you for helping INSPIRE our next generation with a variety of career paths!
