Arrival and Dismissal

Arrival

We begin welcoming students at 9:05 AM. Please do not drop your child off early, as there is no adult supervision of students before that time.  If you arrive after 9:20 AM., please park your car and walk your student(s) to the front office through door #1. 

While staff will be greeting children at Kiss & Ride until 9:20, please complete dropoff by 9:15 to ensure a prompt 9:20 start in the classroom.  This allows your student time to walk to class and be in place by the time class begins. An essential part of our day in classrooms is our Morning Meeting.  Being on time means your child has meaningful opportunities to develop relationships with peers and staff and start their day on a positive note.  

  • Walkers: Staff will greet walkers at Door #1. We ask parents to give hugs and well wishes prior to their children entering the building. We will have many staff members to help your child find their way to class during the first week of school. 
  • Bus Riders: Students are dismissed from their buses at 9:05 AM,
  • Kiss & Ride: Staff will greet Kiss & Ride students in the loop at the side entrance near door # 2.  Please be sure to pull completely forward as staff directs you to do so.  Whenever possible, please have students sit on the passenger side of the vehicle.  For safety reasons, students are not to exit on the driver's side of the vehicle. Staff will assist your child's exit from the car as needed. Please remain in your car.
Dismissal
  • Walkers: Will be dismissed from their classrooms. If you are meeting your student(s), please meet them at door #2. 
  • Kiss and Ride: Students waiting for Kiss & Ride will report to room 257  daily.  If parents/guardians arrive before dismissal, students will receive notification in their classrooms through PUP and report directly to Kiss & Ride at dismissal.  As you approach the Kiss & Ride loop tomorrow, please have your child’s name placard in the window.  If you need additional PUP placards throughout the year, please let us know. 
  • Bus Riders: Will be dismissed from their classrooms. If you are meeting your student(s) at the bus stop, please plan on being at the bus stop 5 minutes early. Kindergarten students who ride the bus in the afternoon must be met at the bus door and asked for by name by a parent, parent designee, guardian, or a responsible sibling who is a 7th grader or older.  Kindergarten students not met will be returned to school.
