• The Drop off and Pickup loop is in the parking lot on the back side of the building. DO NOT drop off your students in the front parking lot or in the bus loop at the front of the building.
• Students will enter the building at 8:50am.
• Families are not allowed to wait in the vestibule or hallways - it impedes our process causing too much congestion.
• If you are driving your student to school in the morning, you need to use our Saddle Up Loop.
• Pull as far forward as possible to keep the traffic flow moving. Never allow your student to exit on the passenger side; they will be in the path of parking lot traffic.
  
• Please do not block the exit onto Meadowbrook Road as you are waiting to turn left into the parking lot. Leave room so people exiting the parking lot are able to turn left onto Meadowbrook Road. This allows traffic to continue to flow.
• Students should be ready with their belongings to exit the vehicle and should exit from the driver's side only.
• Arrive on time to avoid truancy.

The Oakland County Health Department has provided additional guidance related to students returning to school during days 6-10, after their 5 day quarantine. Here is the additional guidance that applies to Meadowbrook:

• If the returning student either has had, or is having, a challenge keeping their mask on, they must stay home for the entire 10 days, returning on Day 11. (You will be notified by Mrs. Watkins if this applies to your child. Classroom teachers will have already been in communication with you about your child's struggle with mask wearing, so you will not be blindsided if this applies to your family.)
• Students who are returning on days 6-10 will eat lunch at a separate table from the classroom table. Other students may join them if they wish to, but it must be at the identified table. (If you do not want your child to sit with someone who is returning to school during days 6-10 after their 5 day quarantine, please discuss this with your child. Instruct him/her to stay at their already designated lunch table.)
• At snack time, classroom teachers will socially distance students who are returning to school for days 6-10 after their 5 day quarantine. (Please note our classrooms are small. We will do the best we can to socially distance within the classroom. )
