Car Rider Procedure Changes
We wanted to take a quick moment to explain some new procedures for the car rider line. These procedures will begin on Wednesday, February 15, 2023. Please share this information with anyone that may be picking your student up from school. In an effort to increase student safety and to allow for students to have an alternate place to play during recess when it is muddy, we are going to be closing the back parking lot until 1:30 on Wednesdays and 2:30 Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. THIS WILL NOT CHANGE MID-DAY PRESCHOOL PICK UP AND DROP OFF. THIS IS ONLY FOR END OF DAY PICK UP. At these times, parents/guardians may begin lining up for dismissal. We ask that you do not line up on the street as this makes it difficult for buses and other traffic to pass. We appreciate your help in keeping our students safe! Please let us know if you have any questions.

What is a Bucket Filler?
RES East uses the Bucket Filling Program as our school wide positive reinforcement program.
This program operates under an easy concept: Everyone carries an invisible bucket that holds
our good thoughts and feelings. When our buckets are full, we feel happy and when our
buckets are empty, we feel sad. Students learn we can fill buckets when we do and say things
that are kind, considerate, caring and respectful. They also learn that when we are mean,
inconsiderate, uncaring or disrespectful, we dip into buckets and remove those good feelings.
Students can receive bucket fillers by any staff member for displaying positive behaviors and
tickets are placed in his/her grade level bucket. Every Friday, bucket fillers are drawn from each
bucket and announced on the announcements. Students receive a certificate, a brag tag as
well as a pass for a free treat at lunch. We then have a grand prize drawing in December and
May using ALL of the tickets collected throughout the year!
Encourage your student to be a bucket filler at school, at home and in our community! Talk to
your student about this program and ask them, “Have you filled a bucket today?”

CAR RIDER DROP OFF AND PICK UP PROCEDURES 2022-2023
DROP OFF AND PICK UP PROCEDURES
Drop Off:
No Students are to be dropped off before 7:45. This is due to safety concerns for students and staff.
Cars will come NORTH on Sexton from 16th Street..
Turn RIGHT into the RES Parking Lot.
There will be 5 lanes for drop off and they will be marked. We ask all preschool and Kindergarten families to use lane 1, which is by the sidewalk. 1st-6th grade students can use either Lane 2, 3, 4 or 5. Once you are in your lane proceed forward until stopped. A staff member will be at the end of the lanes to stop cars. Once all 5 lanes are stopped students may be let out on the passenger side. DO NOT LET STUDENTS EXIT CAR UNTIL DIRECTED BY STAFF. This will be done with handheld signs.
Once students are on the sidewalk the front 5 cars will be released by the staff member and then the next 5 cars will pull up to release students.
Once cars are released they will follow in a single file line to the back lane to exit the parking lot.
At Sexton Street all cars will turn right to exit. DO NOT TURN LEFT. Cars will then proceed to Foster Heights.
If you arrive after 8:10 am and there are no staff members present, do not drop your child off. Bring them to the front of the building and drop them off at the Main Entrance.
Pick Up
Car Rider Pick up will begin at 2:45 except on Wednesday when it begins at 2:05
Cars will come North from 16th Street and turn right into the RES parking lot.
Go into the assigned lanes: Lane 1 Pre-School, Lane 2, 3, 4 and 5 for K-6 Students.
Have your assigned number, will be given out the first day of school, displayed in the front window from rear view mirror.
At the end of the lane you will be stopped by a staff member who will then call out students to enter cars.
Once front 5 cars are finished they will be released by a staff member to exit the parking lot. Go to the back lane and go to the exit. All cars will turn RIGHT and go NORTH on Sexton.
Two-Hour Delay Information
If school is delayed for 2 hours it means school would begin at 10:15. For example if your child is picked up by the bus at 7:15 am they would be picked up at 9:15 am. IF A DELAY OCCURS ON A WEDNESDAY, THERE WILL BE NO EARLY RELEASE. This is another reason why we appreciate you updating phone numbers and emails in the Harmony system if they change. This is how all communication is sent.
Early Student Pick Up
Parents needing pick up a student at 2:15 or later can't pick up in front parking lot due to buses. On Wednesday this time will be 1:45. You will have to be in back car line or make prior arrangements. Please do not use the front lot after 2:15 or on Wednesday's 1:45.
