Morning Drop-off MapAfternoon Pick-up MapInclement Weather Map

Since the promotion of safety and the avoidance of accidents are a joint home and school responsibility, we ask for your cooperation with the following arrival and dismissal procedures:

All drivers must follow the carpool lines and procedures in the morning and afternoon. Cars should never enter an area where barricades/cones are in place.

                                

    Morning Arrival

Students must stay in their vehicles until 7:40 a.m., or until adult supervision is in place, and will exit to the playground area. Students must arrive to school by 8:00 a.m. During inclement weather, students will report directly to the lobby.

On inclement weather days, the drop-off procedure will be the same, except the cones will mark a more confined drop-off area, closer to the school entrance. Please see the Inclement Weather carpool map for details.

For safety reasons, students must exit vehicles on the passenger side. If a vehicle has a child safety lock, parents must make a sign for child locks and display it in the passenger window if they require help with their doors. Drivers should remain in their vehicles. Patrols and/or staff on duty are available to students requiring assistance. Students should be prepared to disembark (i.e., coat on, packed backpack etc.) before entering the carpool line.

 

 

WHEN IN LINE, DO NOT PASS VEHICLES THAT ARE UNLOADING STUDENTS!

 

      Afternoon Dismissal   

For safety reasons and speed of exiting the carpool lanes, preschoolers must remain in their vehicles at all times during dismissal procedures. Upon exiting the building students are to report directly to their vehicles so that the carpool lines may exit the parking lot in a timely
fashion. Parents should retrieve their children if students aren’t forthcoming. Parents must not engage in parent teacher or parent to parent conferences during dismissal. Please arrange appointment times through email or voice mail. To ensure the safety of our students and school families, vehicles must have engines turned off at 3:00 p.m., before students exit the building. Cell phones cannot be used on school grounds until drivers are safely parked and engines are turned off.

Students will not be allowed to return to the classroom after exiting the building at dismissal. If your child has forgotten needed materials in the classroom, drivers must follow carpool procedures. After exiting the carpool lane you may pull into a parking space and wait until all
cars have exited. ONLY THEN can students return to the building.
 


Change in Transportation

When a student’s normal mode of transportation is changed, parents must send a note to the office stating the change in plans. If there is a change due to an emergency, please call the office as soon as possible to ensure that your child receives notice before dismissal. The school office must have a carpool form on file for families that participate in carpool arrangement with other families.
