Traffic Flow

New Dismissal Procedures Beginning January 7th

Starting Thursday, January 7th, we will implement phase 2 of our traffic flow procedures to help alleviate congestion in the front parking lot. Students in grades PreK, Kindergarten and First (along with any older siblings) will now be dismissed and picked up in the back parking area, south of the bus lane entrance (playground side). 2nd - 5th graders (without younger siblings) will still dismiss through the front drive.

Please see the map attached for new pick up locations starting January 7th.

For student safety, DO NOT drop off or pick up your child in the parking lot or street and allow them to walk up on their own.

Morning Drop-Off Procedures

When dropping off your child, please remain in your car. We ask that you do not park and walk up to drop off your child unless there are extenuating circumstances.

If you must walk up to drop off your child, we ask that you cross in the designated crossing areas only. DO NOT walk through cars.

DO NOT drop your child in the parking lot or street and allow them to walk up on their own.

Doors open at 7:15 AM in the morning. Please do not drop your child off before this time. Staff will be out front of the building rain or shine to help with unloading. Please do not drop off your child until staff is in place to assist.

Until 7:30 am, students MUST be dropped off from the main entrance on Leonard Avenue. Cars will file in through the front-drive and pull up to the doors to drop students off.

The bus lane entrance from Sharp Street is for BUSES ONLY until 7:30 am. Once buses have cleared, cars are free to use this lane to drop off students.

If you arrive after 7:40 AM, there will be no staff out front of the school to assist with unloading. You will need to park in a designated parking space and walk your child into the front office. Please do not park in the fire lane.

Safety is our primary concern. Please refrain from using cell phones and pay close attention when driving.
Afternoon Pick-Up Procedures

Dismissal begins promptly at 3:25 PM each day.

Each student will be given a car sticker with the student's family number. Please make sure this is placed on the upper passenger's side of the windshield. It will be used daily to pick up your child in the car line. Students may not be picked up without a family number.

Staff will be out front of the school to assist with loading.
When picking up your child, please remain in your car. We ask that you do not park and walk up to pick up your child unless there are extenuating circumstances.

The safety of our students is our top priority. Thank you for your help in making sure we keep our students safe.
