Arrival & Dismissal Procedures
2021-2022
School Arrival Procedures
School doors open and adult supervision begins at 8:50 a.m. (9:00 a.m. on late-start Wednesdays).
Students arriving after 9:05 a.m. (9:15 a.m. on Wednesdays) must be escorted to Door 1 (main entrance) by an adult.
Bus riders will enter through Door 1 (main entrance).
Car riders will enter through Door 5 (gym entrance).
Bike riders will enter through Door 11 (bike rack).
Walkers may enter through Door 1, 5, 11, or 12.
All pedestrian traffic is to use sidewalks and MUST cross only where crossing guards are present (Intersections of Meadow Lake/Pradel or Meadow Lake/Royal Worlington). This applies to both students and adults. Crossing at other locations, including either end of the circle drive, poses a significant threat to safety during this time of increased traffic.
All bikes, scooters, etc. are to be walked once on school property.
The front circle drive is closed to all regular traffic during arrival. Only school buses, daycare buses, and private cars with a front circle permit displayed may access the front circle drive.
Car riders should approach (and line up if needed) on Pradel Drive either north or south of the parking lot circle entrances or on Meadow Lake Drive. Cars must take care not to block the driveways of any of our neighbors while in line. Cars at the Pradel/Meadow Lake Intersection should alternate. Cars should enter the parking lot drive following an alternating pattern.
Drivers should follow directions of all staff outside and pull all the way forward to the car in front of them. Leaving space between cars so that you can pull around creates a safety hazard and increases the wait time for all cars in line. Students should only unload from cars when and where staff are present. Adults should not exit the car at any time. If your child is not able to unbuckle or exit the car independently, you are asked to walk to school or use the district transportation (for those who qualify).
Drivers should use extreme caution during arrival and dismissal. Refrain from using cell phones during this time, obey all traffic signs and crossing guards, and maintain a cautious speed while approaching school.

Arrival and Dismissal RISE program
If you plan to drive your child to and from school, you will use the front circle drive. Please request a front circle permit from your child's RISE teacher. A staff member will meet you at your car. Please remain in your car until staff arrives for both arrival and dismissal.
