Arrival & Dismissal
Arrival procedures for all students:
All students must enter through the front/main entrance. For safety reasons, the back and side doors are not used as an entrance in the morning and are locked at all times.
Students may arrive at school between 8:20am – 8:35am. All students will have "soft start" in their classroom from 8:20 - 8:35. Class begins and attendance is taken at 8:40. Students should be in class and ready to learn by 8:40 or they will be marked tardy.
If students are eating breakfast at school, they may enter the front doors at 8:15am and go to the cafeteria.
Students should not arrive on school property until 8:20 as there is no supervision, unless they are going to breakfast which begins at 8:15.
Dismissal is at 3:30pm daily. Please make sure your child's teacher knows how he/she will get home each day. If your child will be picked up by a parent (or family member/friend), please indicate if they will be picked up in back or front of school. If your pick-up plan changes during the day/week, please send this update to both the teacher AND the main office.
Drop off/Pick up and Parent Parking – Due to the high volume of vehicles coming and going during drop-off and pick-up times, a bit of traffic and congestion is inevitable. Student safety is always our primary concern throughout the school day.
We would like to offer the following suggestions to maximize safety and efficiency for all:
- The drive through lane in front of school is for drop and go only. If you would like to get out to say good-bye, or if your child needs assistance with a car seat, etc., please park in the lot and walk your child to the door if they need assistance or to say your good-byes.
- Cars are expected to pull all the way to the end of the drive through to avoid long lines that extend into Lincoln Ave.
- Please have children exit the car along the sidewalk, and not in the drive through if at all possible
