Handbook Highlight - Morning Music Rehearsal Drop-Off Procedures
Drop-off will occur at our main entrance from 7:30 – 7:40 A.M. Please pull up along the curb and have your child exit the car and enter using our main doors. Please then circle around the back of the building to exit the school campus. Parents, please do not get out the car to assist your child as it holds up the flow of the car line.
o NOTE: do not drop children off at the back door – it will be locked!
o Please do not drop children off prior to 7:30 – supervision is not available! If you arrive before 7:30AM your child must stay in the car with you until a music teacher is at the front door to let your child into the school.
· It is extremely important that students arrive for morning rehearsals before 7:40A.M. as Arcola buses arrive shortly after this time. If you arrive after 7:40 A.M. you must park your car in the parking lot and walk your child in through the main entrance. (Arcola buses begin arriving at 7:40 and park along the curb.)
