Morning Drop Off Procedures

Have your child's backpack and necessary school items prepared so that drop off can proceed quickly.

  1. When entering the school driveway, pull up to the drop off zone marked by orange cones.
  2. For the safety of your child, have your child exit the car on the passenger's side as quickly as possible. Do not let your child out of the car unless it is in the drop off zone. Please wait patiently as the children exit the cars ahead of you and do not pass cars that you are behind.
  3. Proceed around the U driveway to exit the school ground. Do not drive through the parking lot as some parents and students will be walking to the building.

If you need to see your child into the building, please park in the parking lot in an assigned space. Do not park behind other cars, blocking them from getting out. You must accompany your child across the driveway and onto the sidewalk as cars will be pulling up to drop off their children. Students are not allowed to cross the driveway alone. Please use crosswalks and obey the direction of the safety patrol member as we are trying to teach the students safe walking/crossing procedures.

In the event the parking lot is full, you may park along the grass. If doing so, you are asked to walk along the grass, with your child, to the black top area. Do not cross the driveway. Cars will be exiting from the drop off zone and parking lot.

Please do not park along the bus lane, across the bus lane or in the back of the school. The buses need o drive through and turn around to drop off the children. The buses cannot get through if cars are parked blocking the street.

Please do not park your cars and leave them unattended in front of the building. The front of the school along the yellow curb is a fire lane and is marked with no parking signs. Unattended cars are subject to tickets from the police.

Inclement Weather Drop-Off

  • Please check the sign posted in the office window if it is an IN day.
  • Students will line up in the gymnasium on rainy days.
  • If your child is a walker or you are walking your child from the parking lot to the school, you may leave your child at the front door. There will be a student at the main entrance to direct you child to the gym if they should need assistance.
  • All students that are being dropped off in the drop off zone will enter through the back doors and walk through the school to the gym. Do not drop your child off in front of the main entrance as this blocks the flow of traffic.

All parents driving their child to school are asked to use the drop off zone. This helps maintain a safe and efficient morning drop off.
