Arrival/Dismissal Procedures

Please click on this link to see our arrival and dismissal procedures.  This contains detailed and pertinent information.

 The safety of our students is the most important part of these procedures.  We need everyone to follow these rules to keep students safe.  

The highlights?  

• HAVE YOUR STUDENT EXIT THE CAR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE.  This might mean moving car seats or climbing over them, but it doesn't put children in harm's way, walking between cars to get to the sidewalk.

• MAINTAIN ONE LINE OF TRAFFIC and do not pass stopped cars.

• AVOID PARKING IN THE PARKING LOT and walking your student in.  It slows down the car line and is not as safe as dropping your student off at the sidewalk.

• PULL FORWARD AS FAR AS YOU CAN to allow many students to exit their cars at the same time.  If you're worried about your student walking too far, just imagine them on our playground.  They can do it!  

Car Rider Safety 

Safety is our number one priority when students are dropped off or picked up as car riders. Please remember to drive slowly, watch for pedestrians in the crosswalks, and maintain a single file line of cars. For the past week, we have had our 4th grade car helpers assisting your children out of their cars in the morning. They are there to open doors, help with seat belts and car seats, backpacks and lunch boxes. Follow the link below to visit our car rider procedures. 

Car Rider Procedure 

Transportation Changes 

Whether your child rides the bus, is a car rider, or a walker, a note needs to be 

sent into school indicating the changes for your child. This is for your childʼs safety. 

Please inform the school in advance if you need busing changes. If you have made plans to pick up your student by car, or another member of your family plans to do so, a note stating this would be much appreciated. All request must be made to the school by 2:00 PM.

As a reminder, be at your bus stop at least 5 minutes before the scheduled time. Buses can run behind schedule at 

the start of school. Please do your part by being on time. Kindergarten students will not be dropped off if a parent is 

not present at the bus stop. Please be waiting for your child at the stop at least 5 minutes prior to drop off time. With the StopFinder app, families can receive real-time information on the location of their student’s bus by creating their own GeoAlert zones around their student's bus route. Set up a zone for when the bus enters your neighborhood, the caregiver's location, when the bus enters the school campus area, or is two stops away...families can set up the fields relevant to their schedule and can track their student's bus through the secure StopFinder app in the Google Play and Apple App Store. 

Key Features of the STOPFinder App: 

★ Receiving push notifications to your smartphone, smartwatch, or tablet for when the bus enters a "zone" you set up around your neighborhood, school, babysitter, or daycare. 

★ The ability to "share" your child's route with an older sibling, babysitter, spouse, grandparent, or another custom adult of your choosing. Ready to get started with StopFinder Click Here
