Drop off/Pick up Procedures – Be SAFE in the Front Loop
Please display your name sign on the passenger side of your dashboard when you come to pick up your student(s). Please be courteous and aware of others during pick up, especially pedestrians in the crosswalk! Please do not use cell phones while in the front loop to prevent distracted driving for the safety of our students. If you need to park and come into the school, please use our crosswalk. Please do not park in the pick-up/drop-off lane.
In addition, students should not be dropped off before 8:30 in the morning unless they are here for a supervised activity or Kids & Co. The school’s doors open at 8:45 and we have limited supervision and space in the lobby for students to wait for school to begin. If you have been dropping off prior to 8:30, please make different arrangements. For students who are waiting in the front lobby between 8:30 – 8:45, our expectations are that they are reading or doing homework quietly.
