Elementary School AM Drop-Off Procedures

• All parents dropping off students in the AM will now do so at the front elementary office entrance (Door 1) starting at 7:40 AM. Students being dropped off at 7:40 will be directed to the elementary cafeteria to wait until our morning bell releases them to class at 7:45; the same time bus riders will be dropped from the bus.

• When entering the campus all cars dropping elementary students will now only drop at the Elementary Drop Zone (the sidewalk directly in front of the elementary school). Cars will come all the way up to the stop sign just past the main entrance to begin unloading and all cars behind will follow suit.

• Please follow the directions of staff to assist in a smooth and quick transition from car to school which include: ○ Exiting the car on the passenger/right curbside ONLY and have students be prepared by taking off seatbelts and getting bags ready. ○ Students and parents will be greeted by staff but don’t need to wait for staff to begin exiting as soon as the vehicle comes to a complete stop. ○ Parents please stay in your vehicle and talk to your children about how to safely and efficiently prepare to exit the vehicle.

• Once your elementary student has safely exited the vehicle you will wait until the vehicle in front of you begins to move to also leave. This is to ensure we have no moving vehicles around elementary students as we get students into the building.

• Those who have middle school and/or high school students being dropped after elementary will proceed to the MS/HS Drop Zone (door 9) along the curb in front of the high school auditorium/administration offices while those who only had elementary school students can continue in the left lane to proceed toward the parking lot exit.

• If you need to come to the main office in the morning please park anywhere in the front parking lot and utilize crosswalks to proceed to the front sidewalk toward the elementary main office.

• If you and/or your child(ren) walk to school please utilize all sidewalks and crosswalks to safely navigate to the main elementary school sidewalk to head toward door 1 as this will now be the only entrance we use in the morning.

• Please DO NOT use the back baseball field entrance to drop off as we will have this designated as the bus area in the AM and PM and the new back lot will be busy with MS/HS only drop-offs and parking.

Elementary School PM Drop-Off Procedures

• Students K-12 will now all be released at 2:55. The end-of-the-day pickup will function the same as we handled it last year around the front loop for any elementary students as well as MS/HS students if you have those ages as well. MS/HS-only pickups will be done in the new north lot.

• Please arrive no earlier than 2:30 PM and please proceed all the way around the front loop to the stop sign before exiting the loop on the other side. Please wait in your vehicle until students begin exiting the building at 2:55 PM. Once you see students come out you can stand outside your vehicle so staff and students can find you. ○ Do not leave gaps more than 3 feet and pull up as close as possible but leave enough space to exit once all students are picked up.

• With increased space in the front parking lot due to all students being moved to the new back lot we will have plenty of legal parking spaces for parents to also utilize. You can park in any spot if the front loop is full and wait for your students near the small parent waiting area near the small lot behind the HS cafeteria. Please wait in a safe area out of any driving areas and do not come over to the elementary side or school for safety reasons. Teachers will again be splitting classes by bus riders and parent pickups to expedite the process. Teachers will find you and get your child to you safely.

• Once you have your child(ren) you can safely and slowly begin to exit the lot while ensuring you are watching your surroundings and following any staff instructions if needed
