---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

School Instructional Hours:

     K-8 8:30 am – 3:15 pm (Wednesday early dismissal 2:15 pm)

  Before Care:

• 7:30 am – 8:00 am (Must be signed up for this paid service, space is limited. Cost is $31 per week. Payments are due via Brightwheel every Monday. For information contact Ms. Vanessa Malave at VMalave@ucpcfl.org)

 Car Line (Arrival & Dismissal) Procedures:

• Arrival K-8: Vehicles may start lining up at 7:45 am for an 8:00 am drop-off.

• Morning Drop-off K-8 begins at 8:00 am and ends at 8:30 am. Parents should remain in their vehicles. Staff will give a signal for students to exit vehicles when ready (except for lane 1- see “Car Lanes” below for more info). This is a very systematic process where students are dropped off in groups/waves as vehicles arrive. Car line will close at precisely 8:31 am

• 8:00-8:30 am Students are allowed to eat free breakfast in the cafeteria and report to their homerooms at 8:30 AM.

• Instruction begins promptly at 8:30 am for all grade levels K-8.

• Late Arrivals K-8: Students who arrive after 8:31 am will be considered tardy. Starting at 8:31, parents must park and sign their child(ren) in at the front office (no exceptions). We will provide flexibility with this during the first two weeks of school as everyone gets acclimated  with procedures.

• Dismissal K-8: Parents may begin lining up in the car line for dismissal at 2:45 pm (1:45 on Wed.) not before. All students will be dismissed at 3:20 pm (2:20 pm on Wed.) via car line. This is a very systematic process where we dismiss students in groups/waves as vehicles arrive on campus. Parents remain in their vehicles and teachers/staff assist students getting into their vehicles (except for lane 1 - see “Car Lanes” below for more info).

• Car line closes promptly at 3:45 (2:45 Wed.). Students who are not picked up at this time will be brought to the front office and a fee of $1.00 per min. will apply for late pick-ups starting at 3:46 pm (unless of course the student is enrolled in Aftercare or 21st Century).

• Car Tags will be available for parents to pick-up from 8/1-8/9 from 9:00-4:30 each day at the front office. Car tags must be picked up within this date range so that you have it ready for pick up starting 8/10 Students who will be at home .  Please bring your ID to receive a car tag. You must have your child’s name written on your car tag to be authorized to pick them up. 

• Car Lanes – Lane 1 (closest to building) is for students who may have mobility challenges, wheelchairs/walkers etc. Lane 1 vehicles will receive a “blue” car tag at Meet the Teacher (bring your ID please to get a car line tag). Lane 2 (middle lane) and Lane 3 (furthest from building) are for all other students regardless of grade level.

*PLEASE STAY INSIDE YOUR VEHICLE AT ALL TIMES WHILE IN CAR LINE (exception for Lane 1 students – parents should assist their children getting in and out of vehicles with mobility challenges)

• Early Dismissal/Early Pick-Ups – Students may not be picked up from school after 2:45 (1:45 on Wed.). Between 2:45-3:15 (Wed. 1:45-2:15) our teachers are preparing for the end of the day and closing out the day. Early pick-ups cause a disruption to this process. While we understand emergencies happen, this cannot take place on regular occasions. Please plan doctors and other appointments according to our dismissal times noted above.

• After Care will be from 3:15 pm – 5:30 pm – Monday-Friday To sign up for After Care with ASEP email vmalave@ucpcfl.org.

• 21st Century After School Program will begin at 3:15 pm – 5:45 pm Monday-Thursday (parents must have been accepted into this program, space is limited. For more information contact RSkaggs@ucpcfl.org). Since 21st Century is Mon-Thurs we will also offer a Friday after care option for a small fee (contact Ms. Vanessa Malave with questions at VMalave@ucpcfl.org).
