Arrival & Dismissal

Schedule:

Our official school day will take place from 7:40am – 3:00pm.  Cafeteria doors open at 7:15am for breakfast students.  Front doors open at 7:25am.  All doors close promptly at 7:40am.  If your student arrives after 7:40am, they must be walked into the office by a parent with a valid driver’s license (or photo ID) and signed in.

Arrival:

Beginning at 7:25, students may be dropped off at either the front of the building or the back of the building in the loading/unloading circle.  We do ask that cars remain in a single file line in the right lane when dropping students off in car rider lines.  Arrival/drop-off locations are as follows:

• 7:15 All students eating breakfast (dropped off in the back of the building in the loading/unloading circle)

• 7:25 Pre-K (dropped off in the bus circle near the Pre-K classroom doors)

• 7:25 AFS (dropped off in back of the building in the loading/unloading circle)

• 7:25 PABS (dropped off in back of the building in the loading/unloading circle)

• 7:25 Front Circle (K-5th grades)

• 7:25 Back Parking Lot Circle (K-5th grades)

Students may not be dropped off prior to 7:15am (back of the building) or prior to 7:25am (front of the building) as we do not have staff to supervise at this time.  Please remain in a single-file car line, and do not pass other cars as this poses major safety concerns for students, staff, and car occupants.

Dismissal:

Early dismissal (checking students out early) ends promptly at 2:15 pm, as teachers, staff, and office staff must begin preparations for school-wide student dismissal. If you need to check your student out early, please do so before this time. 

All guardians must have a Car Tag to retrieve their students during dismissal.  In the event the Car Tag is forgotten or unavailable, the parent or guardian will be directed to drive to the front of the school, park in the parking lot, and bring a valid ID (driver’s license, state ID, or passport) to enter the building where the student may be signed out.  Please note the following dismissal information below:

• 3:00 Pre-K & Siblings / AFS - (dismissed in the bus circle near the Pre-K classroom doors; single-file dismissal line; remain in car at all times)

• 3:00 1st - 3rd Car Riders - (dismissed from the front car rider lines in front of the building; 2 car lines for dismissal; remain in car at all times)
