Pick Up and Drop Off
All parent drop off and pick up need to be done from the turnabout on Streamwood Avenue. The teacher lot is not for drop off or pick up.
All supervision before school begins at 8:15am rain or shine. Please do not drop your child off or allow them to walk to school before 8:15 am. There is no supervision. If you need child care prior to 8:15am, please consider registering for Boys & Girls Club. They open at 7am.
All drivers must stay in their car while in the turnabout. No parking is allowed. Students should be picked in from the curved sidewalk by door 4.
Parents are asked not to park on Ridge Circle Street during pick up and drop off time. If there is an emergency at Ridge Circle the emergency vehicles cannot get to the building. THIS IS A SAFETY RISK FOR RIDGE CIRCLE SCHOOL.
