Arrival/Dismissal

Students must wear masks as they exit the bus/car and enter the building, as well as during dismissal at the end of the day.

Arrival

• Students will not be allowed to enter the school building until 7:45 AM. They will report directly to their classroom (after picking up breakfast if necessary) and will be supervised by their homeroom teacher. The school day will begin at 8:10 AM.

• Arrival Entry: Students in Grades 1 and 5 will enter the school through the Gym doors. Bus riders and all other grade levels will use the main doors.

Dismissal

• Students will be released from class for school buses in waves rather than all going at once. This will allow students to go straight to the bus. When that isn’t possible, students must be 6 ft. apart from other students in the bus staging area with appropriate staff supervision to ensure this is happening.

• Car Rider Dismissal: When parents pull into our pickup lot from Mill Rd., staff will read your dash tag and immediately call your child(ren) to the car. You will then pull your car forward into our pickup lane to await your rider(s). The left lane will remain open this year so you can pull out and around when you are loaded up. Students will be called from their classrooms to come out to their car instead of one group holding area. This may prolong the amount of time it takes for a student to get to your vehicle. We will be staged as far apart as possible during car rider dismissal.

• We are working on a plan to stage arrival and dismissal times to help spread out traffic in order to keep students safe and avoid traffic backing up on Mill road.

• Car riders are encouraged to try to enter from the passenger side only.
