General Information

The drive inside the school grounds will be one-way from 7:15-8:00 a.m. each morning and from 2:30-3:15 p.m. each afternoon.

Our school day begins at 7:45 a.m. Students should not be brought to school before 7:15 a.m. Teachers do not begin early duty until this time. Please help us keep our students safe by not leaving him/her on school grounds before 7:15 a.m.  If a student arrives after the 7:45 bell rings they must go by the front desk for a tardy slip.  If they are in the building, but not in the classroom they must also report to the front desk for a tardy slip.  It is very important that students are in the classrooms and ready to learn.  Interruptions affect the whole classroom. 

Students must be dropped off at either the front or cafeteria side entrance.  All students will have their temperature checked upon arrival.  Once they are cleared, they will report to their classroom. Breakfast will be served in the classrooms this year.  

School is dismissed at 2:45 p.m. for all students. Everyone should be picked up from school no later than 3:00 p.m. During the first week of school each student will be given two cards with their names on them. Please give a card to the person picking up your child to be placed in the window during pickup to help make this process go smoothly. All cars without these cards will be asked to verify identification and to sign out the student.  We will be more than happy to make multiple cards for you if more than two are needed. Please help us keep everyone safe by cooperating with this policy.

Morning Drop Off

Parents may drop students off in front of the school or by the cafeteria door on the side of the school. The cafeteria drop-off point can be accessed by the back entrance to the school.

Please do not use the parking areas for drop-off points.  Since our parking situation is very limited, please do not walk your child into the building unless you have an appointment or need to come into the office.  Please don't park your car in the drop-off lane.  This interrupts traffic flow for everyone.   

Afternoon Pick-up

• All students are to be dismissed through the front drive. There are three lanes on the entrance way and they are numbered one through three. We ask that you fill each lane completely before filling the next. Please do not park past the sidewalk to allow room for cars to turn into the additional lanes. You will be asked to move if you park beyond the sidewalk. The original drive offers a fourth lane, which allows us to keep all traffic off city streets. 
  

• When dismissal begins an adult will remove each cone one at a time to let each lane go up to load children. 
  

• Please display your students' name cards in your front window to speed up the loading process.
  

• All parents/guardians are asked to use the proper procedures for picking up students. All students who are car riders should be loaded into cars by staff members. Please do not park your car and get your child out of the car rider line. This is not safe and it also  impedes the flow of traffic.
  

• If your child is a walker, they must walk home. All students who are picked up in a vehicle must be picked up through the front pick up line. Due to traffic and safety concerns, you may not park outside the back gate to pick your child up.
  

• All students are expected to be picked up no later that 3:00 p.m. each day unless they are staying for an after school activity.
  

• In order to make dismissal as smooth as possible and ensure the safety of our students, we ask that parents pick up their children through the front dismissal line. Unless it is an emergency, we ask that you please not check your child out after 2:30. The less traffic that is created at the front entrance of the school at dismissal, the easier it is to get students quickly and safely to where they need to be to start on time. Of course, emergency situations do occur and we ask that if you need to check them out that you go ahead and get your child and exit with them so there is less traffic at the entrance when dismissal begins.
