Snow Snow Go Away You're Making Parking Difficult Each Day
As a reminder regarding arrival and dismissal:
Vehicle drop off and pick up is on Ann St. and Sullivan Dr. Sullivan Dr. in the AM is used as a "hug and go" drop off site. This means that parents should remain with their vehicle and not walk students to the door if they are stopping here to drop off. If you plan to walk with your child to the door, please park along Ann St. This helps significantly with congestion on the street and safety for our students and school family. If you are parking on the opposite side of the street as the school, please walk to a crosswalk.
All K-4th Grade students enter from the playground doors (door 9 and 11). Supervision begins at 7:35 in the morning. Students enter the building at 7:45. If you are running late and are dropping your child off after 7:50, you will need to sign in at the front office.
Students are dismissed at 3:10. Parent pick up is on the playground. NDLC students in grades K-2 are dismissed from the purple awning (Door 9). 3rd and 4th Grade students leave the building from Door 7 and walk to the playground where you can meet them.
4K Drop Off/Pick Up: The 4K entrance is in the front of the building through Door 2. Please park in the front parking lot and walk to the door at both drop off and pick up times. We understand that the parking lot gets very busy after school, however, please be mindful of the circle drive in front of the school as this is for bus pick up only. The AM session runs from 7:50-10:40. The PM session runs from 12:20-3:10. You may drop off no earlier than 10 minutes before the session begins.
