Morning Drop off and Dismissal Information
Now that construction is over, all traffic laws will be enforced this school year.
Red Zones violations will be ticketed this school year. There is no drop off or pick up in a red zone! After reading this letter if you have additional questions, please call the school office for assistance.
Morning Drop off:
Morning Drop off will be at the front of the school, on San Eljay. Please drive into the front drive-thru area and pull forward as far as you can (this will allow as many cars in as possible and help eliminate traffic on the street) before allowing your child to exit the car.
End of the Day Dismissal:
Key Dismissal procedure information:
- All students will be walked out by their classroom teachers. Parents will not be allowed on campus to pick up students from the classrooms.
- Do not leave your cars unattended along ANY curb area that is painted yellow or red.
- There is no pickup in a red zone.
- Students in grades 1-2 will be dismissed from the side gate near the MPR and then walked to the front of the school.
- Students in grades 3-5 will dismiss from the large playground gate and then walked to the front of the school.
- TK & Kinder will have their own dismissal gate on Kemper Court.
If you choose to pick your child up in the pick-up area in front of the school your child will be waiting in the circular patio area. Please drive into the front drive-thru area and pull forward as far as you can (this will allow as many cars in as possible and help eliminate traffic on the street). Once you have pulled forward students will be directed to walk to your car to load up. If a student does not see you, continue to pull your car forward and ask a nearby teacher to call your child.
Students are supervised at pick-up areas for 20 minutes after the final bell, until 2:50 P.M. At the end of 20 minutes students are escorted to the office or benches inside the school. Office staff members then make phone calls home. When students are picked up late, they must be signed out in the office.
If you pick up your child, please make the end of the school day safe and calm for everyone by:
- Parking in appropriate places
- Picking your child up at the curb (do not allow your child to cross in front of any vehicles)
- Arriving before 20 minutes have elapsed after the final bell
- Not blocking cross walk areas at any time
- Demonstrating courtesy, patience, and safe driving while on or near our school grounds.
- Remembering that the busiest time is the first 10 minutes after dismissal, so plan carefully.
- Never leave your car unattended in a red or yellow curb zone.
- Please make pick-up arrangements for your student prior to the start of school and avoid picking your child up early/late from school.
