Information for Our New Families
Welcome to Civano!
We are so excited to have you join our school community! Following is information to answer a few questions as the school year gets underway.
You will receive a parent handbook with all of this information (and so much more) in the Tuesday folder (these go home every Tuesday once school begins).
Each campus has different start times:
• Middle School, Grades 6-8, gates open 7:45 a.m., school begins at 8:10am
• Elementary School, Grades K-5, gates open 8:00 a.m., school begins at 8:25 a.m.
Community Time
Each morning the whole school gathers for Community Time to listen to announcements, share big news, and sing. This is a very special time for our community and is considered the first class of the day. We expect all students to participate in this community building experience, as it sets the tone for the day. Upper school students will start their day on their campus and then travel to the lower school together to participate. The gates and the office will be locked right after the 8:25 bell. Students who get to school after 8:25 are considered tardy and will need to wait until community time is over to enter school.
We love it when our families join us during community time but we ask for the following courtesies:
• If you need to talk to a teacher, please arrange to meet with them before community time starts, as all teachers are required to attend community time.
• Refrain from having conversations during this time, as it can be distracting.
• Don’t leave before community time is over.
• Silence your cell phones and be technology free.
• If you are sitting with your child, please be active community time participants.
• We love younger siblings to attend, but the focus is on the first class of the day for students in grades K-8. If your younger child becomes a distraction, please leave the area, so our students can focus on community time.

Car Drop Off & Pick Up
Middle School: Enter the pick-up area from the west. Pull all the way forward in the pick-up area so other cars can pull in behind you. Stay in your car while in the pick-up line in order to keep traffic moving smoothly. If you have children at both schools, have your upper school student walk across the crosswalk and join the lower school pick-up line.
Car Pick-up Line Safety:
Safety of our kids is a top priority during the pick-up time. Please review these key points and share with anyone who will be picking up your child.
· No phones or texting are allowed in the pick-up line.
· When possible, have your children enter the car from the curb side and locate your child’s car seat on the curb-side, so they can safely get in the car without going into the traffic lane.
· Please drive VERY cautiously during pick-up. We want adults to be able to pick up their children in a safe and timely manner.
Parent Pick Up
Upper School: If you would like to walk in and pick-up your child, please park in the lot at the school or the dirt lot just east of the school. Wait by the bench just outside the gate.
