Student Absences
Child Drop Off Procedures
Drop off time for students at primary and elementary begins at 8:30 am. When using the drop off lane, please be sure that students exit the vehicle on the curb side. Parents may not exit the vehicle. Be sure students only exit when your car is parked between the two crosswalks. We can best ensure the safety of all students, parents, and staff when our drop off procedures are followed. The drop off lane is closed at 8:45 am to allow for the preK buses to drop off students. Please DO NOT pull into the drop off lane behind a bus. If you arrive at Big Hollow after 8:45 am, please park in the lot and walk your child into the school building.
Child Pick Up Procedures
If you have an emergency situation occur after 2:15 pm, please notify the office and an exception will be made.
