Pick Up and Drop Off Procedures - Updated 9/27/2019

 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.  You may want to consider arriving closer to 3:40 so the pick up line is shorter and the wait isn't as long.  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 8:30 AM drop off and 3:30 PM pick up procedures.  We have continued to reevaluate procedures due to safety.
8:30 AM Drop off:

• Pre-K, K, and siblings are dropped off and picked up at the north entrance (pre-k) by the soccer fields.  Pre-K teachers and staff members will be at the entrance to greet students in the morning.  Pre-K students will be supervised by staff and kindergarten students and siblings will walk down the east hallway and report directly to the East Room.  Parents/guardians will circle back and exit on Roberts Road.  There is no need for parents to exit the car.  Staff will be there to help with drop off.  The doors close at 8:40.  Arrivals after 8:40 must use the east entrance.
• First grade-eighth grade students will be dropped off at the east entrance. The traffic pattern had been reversed.  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.  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.
• If parents need to enter the building they will park in the middle section of the lot and walk with their children into the building. Please don’t park in the designated recess area. Children must be accompanied by an adult when walking through the parking lot.   Supervision ends at 8:43.

The first car must pull up to the orange cone.  Please have the name tag visible in the windshield or passenger window.  Overflow cars will be lined up in the front parking parallel to Roberts Road.  Arrivals after 3:45 will need to go to the east entrance and come in to pick up their child.
