Arrival and Dismissal Procedures

  •  

    Safety is our highest priority during arrival and dismissal. To ensure that every child is safe, teachers and support staff are assigned to monitor areas.   Please review the procedures carefully with your child and reinforce the importance of following the procedures on a daily basis. Any change in arrival/dismissal must be indicated in writing and communicated to the teacher and office staff by 2:00pm.

     

    MORNING CAR DROP-OFF

    Every morning all students riding in vehicles will enter into the car loop in front of the school.  Parents are asked to pull forward to unload in the designated lane, unloading area. Students should be prepared to exit the car immediately, having already gathered up any necessary materials.  If in lane 1 (closest to ASJ) all students MUST exit the vehicle on the passenger side onto the sidewalk.  For the safety of your child and others, never let a child out of the car on the driver's side.  If in lane 2, all students MUST exit the vehicle on the driver side onto the sidewalk and walk to the crosswalk to wait on the crossing guard before crossing the street.   We ask that all students are dropped off no later than 7:45 a.m. to get to their classrooms and begin the day promptly at 7:45 a.m. Tardy bell rings at 7:45 a.m.  Arriving after the tardy bell, parents will need to walk student(s) into the building and sign them in at the front office.
