Arrival & Dismissal Plan
at Justin Elementary 2020
Safety First!
Bus
**AM Buses line up at the front of the school in the morning to drop off between 7:20-7:30 am. JES staff members are there to greet your child at the front door of the school. Students that ride the bus arrive early enough for tutoring and breakfast.
**PM Buses are double stacked in two rows at the front of the school starting at 2:40 pm. If you are parked in the front parking lot at that time, you will be blocked in and cannot get out until buses drive away at 3:10 pm. There is a JES staff member assigned to each bus and holding a colored sign. Students in K-2 have a bus tag taped to their backpack strap with a color that coordinates with their bus color. Kinder and 1st grade students start a few minutes before the dismissal bell and are walked out to the buses in a single file line to make sure they find their bus. Students in Pre-K and PPCD are loaded into their buses in the parking near the playground. Students can NOT ride home with friends on a bus route that is not aligned with their home address without prior approval from Reliant Transportation. 817-698-1297.
**If your child has a problem on the bus, please communicate the specifics with the driver and call JES to speak with an administrator. All students should feel safe on their route to and from school. Riding the bus is a privilege, not a right. Students can have consequences or removal if misbehavior is persistent.
Tardy Bell - 7:40 am.
Car Riders
**PM Car dismissal is a single file line of cars wrapping around the back of the school to the SOUTH Kinder exit with a PARALLEL single file line from Ovaletta Drive. Ten cars are stopped while 10 teachers walk students to their car. Once everyone is loaded, all ten cars are released at the same time. Teachers read student names on a car tag hanging from the rear view mirror and radio student names to the waiting area. Car line normally takes 20 minutes to completely finish, but please expect it to take 45 minutes during the first few days.
Walkers
NORTH walkers use the sidewalk that cuts into the Hardeman neighborhood.
The EAST walker and biker group exits the cafeteria and walks/bikes on the sidewalk past the baseball fields and park. Justin Elementary staff walk students to the edge of the school property.
***NEW*** Justin Elementary staff will supervise EAST walkers/bikers to the edge of the school property which is at the yellow concrete barriers that separate the school grounds and the city of Justin baseball complex. The bikers will be released first and then the walkers. If you want to meet your child as a walker/biker, you can wait at the yellow poles or sit on the metal bleachers. Please do NOT attempt to cross the car line traffic to wait for your child near the building. Be aware that if you are waiting at the park or in the parking lot across Ovaletta Drive, your child will be unsupervised after leaving the school property. The city of Justin hired a crossing guard to help students cross Ovaletta Drive.
All walkers/bikers will proceed in the rain unless you call the front office before 2:00 pm. to let us know about a ride change. 817-215-0800.
Daycare
**If you are picking up your child from AlphaBest, park in the back of the school and ring the doorbell on the cafeteria door.
Ride Changes - 2:00 pm.
