Pick Up and Drop Off Procedures - Updated 2020-21
We have a safety concern in the east parking lot and we need your help. We need ALL parents to follow the pick up procedures. While it may be easier to pick up your child by parking and walking to the pick-up area to retrieve your child(ren), it poses a huge safety risk for other drivers, students and staff. Our staff has communicated to adults about following procedures and it hasn't helped alleviate the risk. We are really feeling defeated. Please communicate to other family members who are picking up to PLEASE follow our structure. We don't want to see a fender bender, a child or adult get injured. Thank you for your cooperation and please review our drop off/pick up procedures below.
Please support us in implementing our new 8:15 or 8:30 AM drop off and 3:00 or 3:15 PM pick up procedures. We have continued to reevaluate procedures due to safety.
8:15/8:30 AM Drop off:
Supervised before school care:
8:15/8:30 AM Drop off:
- Families have been assigned a drop off and pick up location. Please follow the traffic pattern for the main school entrance, the north end, and the church lobby. Follow the direction of the adults who are working in the parking lots.
- Main entrance to the school: Drivers will turn right towards the garage and drive along the grassy knoll area at the east side of the parking lot and turn after the recess cones. Cars will pull up along the gated off area so children may safely exit the car. It is strongly advised that the students exit the passenger side. The first car will be stopped parallel to the horse/dumpster. There is no need for parents to get out of the car. Cars will proceed south out of the lot. Please don’t park near the entrance or next along the dumpster. This is only for a drop off and for safety reasons please park in a designated parking spot.
- North end: the entrance to the north end is off of Roberts Rd near 111th street. The entrance near the soccer fields is an exit only. Follow the traffic pattern and the guidance of the adults working in the parking lot.
- Church lobby: Drop off is along the sidewalk.
Supervised before school care:
- Student drop off is at the church lobby entrance. Students will go to the East Room and wait there until prayer service begins promptly at 8:15.
- Parents are to call the office to let us know your child's ride has arrived. Staff will send the student(s) to the main entrance to the school for dismissal. Drivers may not enter the building.
