Pick-Up and Drop-Off Procedures
ALL before school and after school car riders are expected to drop-off and pick-up students in the back of the school.
Morning Student Drop-Off Procedures
Procedures for before school drop off are the same as the previous years. Parents will enter the “east” entrance to drop-off area located on the map. Parents will drive to the back of the school. Cars will be expected to form a double line to prevent traffic from backing up on Continental Drive.
The first vehicle that enters the drop-off area will be expected to drive their car all the way to the red fire hydrant. Every preceding car is expected to drive as far down as possible behind the car in front of them. We ask that cars do not prematurely stop before proceeding down as far as they can go.
Car riders are expected to exit on the passenger side of the car. Students are not to exit on the driver side of the car under any circumstances! This rule is for the safety of every child.
When dropping your student off in the morning, parents are not to exit the vehicle. All parents must remain in their car. We ask that parents do not exit the vehicle to open the door to let their child out.
There will be plenty of adult supervision at the drop-off in the morning, so please, when you drop your child off, we ask that you do not watch your child enter the building. Doing this delays the drop-off line and students that are in the back of the line may end up tardy to school.
When you drop your child off in the morning and afternoon, please exit on the “west” side of the school. You will only be able to make a left hand turn onto Continental Drive. Cars will not be allowed to make a right hand turn onto Continental Drive.
After School Student Pick-Up Procedures
When students are being picked up after school, parents are to enter the “east” entrance to drop-off area located on the map. Parents will drive to the back of the school. Cars will be expected to form a double line to prevent traffic from backing up on Continental Drive.
A teacher will be posted on the corner with a megaphone and will direct the traffic. He/she will ask for the names of the students you are picking up and then will relay that information to staff members who are monitoring the students. Your child will then be directed to stand in a designated pick up area.
Just like the morning drop-off, parents will drive their car all the way to the red fire hydrant or to the car directly in front them.
Parents will be expected to stop at the corner which has been identified on the map by an “X”.
After the first full week of school, all car riders will be given a name tag that will have the last name of the student(s) being picked up. The name tag will be supplied by the school. Any individual picking up a student(s) after school will have to have this name tag fastened to the back of their car visor.
When a car drives to the area designated with the “X” we ask that your name tag be visible.
A teacher will be at that corner controlling traffic. That teacher will look for your name and will radio to staff supervisors to release the student(s) who correspond with that name.
As you will see from the map, kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grade students will be in one area and 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students will be in another area. All students will be standing or sitting in a line depending on the weather. In the case of bad severe snow or rain, students will line up in the gym.
By the time the driver drives up to the designated area, the student(s) that correspond to that vehicle will be waiting to enter the vehicle.
Once you have picked up your student(s), please exit on the “west” side of the school. You will only be able to make a left hand turn onto Continental Drive. Cars will not be allowed to make a right hand turn onto Continental Drive.
