Arrival, Dismissal and Parking Protocols
Parking:
If you are at the school for an event or meeting in the afternoon, please do not park in the front driveway. You will be blocked in by the busses and it creates a danger to the children as they leave. During drop off and pick up times, there is NO PARKING allowed before the stop sign at the front door. Once you are inside the cone range, you child can get out of the car and walk to the door.
School Arrival/Departure:
Students may not enter the building before school begins. Upon arrival they should line up at their assigned areas outside. On days of inclement weather students may enter the building upon arrival.
Students are requested not to arrive earlier than 7:30 a.m. or stay after 2:30 p.m. unless they are participating in a particular activity such as band or attending any meetings. There is no one at school before or after these times to supervise the children.
Please be kind and follow all arrival, dismissal and parking protocols. Also note that in order to maintain a safe environment for the children, cell phone use – including hands free use – is not allowed during pick up and drop off.

- Please be patient and wait in line until the traffic moves forward – please do not pull out of the line to exit
- Please be patient, do not honk for people to move forward in the car pick up/drop off line

School is out at 2:25pm Monday through Thursday and at 1:50 on Fridays.
MORNING DROP OFF: Pull into the driveway and follow the flow of traffic in the front of the school. There is NO PARKING allowed before the stop sign at the front door. Once you are inside the cone range, you child can get out of the car and walk to the door. If your child needs assistance getting out, there will be a volunteer greeter at the stop sign to open the car door and help your child out. If you need to get out of your car with your child, please pull up to the parking spots past the stop sign to park your car. Please watch for other cars going by! A diagram outlining the drop off flow is above.
AFTERNOON PICK UP: Pick up happens in the back of the school since the bus-riders and walkers are released from the front door. Enter the driveway and drive around to the back of the school. Pull up as far as you can in the car line. Cars usually from three rows leaving space between the rows to allow car doors to be opened. Also, try to leave a little distance between cars in front of you – so cars can exit as soon as their child is buckled in their seats. All students are released from the middle doors in the back of the school. younger students’ parents usually walk to the door to pick up their child. Older students usually know where their parents park and they just go to the car. PLEASE WATCH FOR RUNNING CHILDREN IN THE PARKING LOT!! Teachers will stay outside to make sure that all students are picked up. A diagram outlining the pick up flow is above.
