Pick Up and Drop Off Procedures

Arrival/Dismissal Procedures

Building doors will open at 7:20. Upon arrival, students will enter the building and report to their classroom, and then eat breakfast (optional). Students will not be let in early. Specific entrances have been identified below, but signage will be outside for the first couple of weeks to help communicate student entrances.  

  • Bus Riders will arrive and dismiss through the 2-3 & 4-5 Bus Entrance doors
  • K-1 will arrive and dismiss from the SE Door
  • 2-3 (bus/car/walk) students will arrive and dismiss from the NE Door
  • 4-5 will arrive and dismiss from the Front Door

Dismissal

Students will also use these locations to exit the building. All students will be dismissed at 2:45 pm. Your teachers will be communicating their specific dismissal location. Please note that the pickup line is the outer circle (orange), while the inner circle (red) is used for through traffic. If you need to exit your vehicle, please park in one of the parking spots.  

Please keep in mind that when using the Pick Up Lane (orange lane) we encourage parents to remain in their vehicle to help keep the lane moving smoothly. If you would like to park and walk your child to their assigned door, please use one of the parking spots in the lot.
