Students should be picked up at school promptly when dismissed at 4:00 (or 2:30 on Wednesday). Please be considerate of our staff as they too have personal and family obligations to attend to after work.
Parents and Guardians who arrive after 4:15 (2:45 on Wednesday) will be charged a late fee of $25.00 for each infraction. If you know you will not be able to pick up on time most days, you should enroll your child in Homework Group, which meets until 5:30 (until 4:00 on Wednesdays).
To facilitate quick and easy afternoon pickup, please follow this procedure:
- The first car arriving for pickup in the afternoon should pull around the corner and stop at the entrance to the Theater in the designated drop-off/pick-up area. Other cars should fill in behind as they arrive. Students should use the sidewalk to get into the cars, rather than cutting across the driveway and parking lot.
- All cars waiting for students should pull as far to the right as possible to allow other cars to pass on the left.
- If your child is not out and waiting when you pull up to the Theater area, please pull out of the queue and circle back around or park. That way, the children who are outside can be picked up and the line of traffic will dissipate more quickly.
- Please do not impede the traffic flow by talking to teachers or students. Park first, if you need to talk with someone at school.
- All students must wait for their rides in the courtyard between the buildings or on the sidewalk adjacent to the theater and arts building. Students may not wait in the driveway above the school, as doing so is disturbing to the neighboring businesses.
- If you are heading north, towards Route 50, follow the driveway to the exit near Thais Park, which allows right turns only. If you are heading south, towards Main Street, take an immediate left back towards the Silver King Court entrance, where you can turn left on Pickett Road.
