Drop Off & Pick Up
Early Building Admittance
Any student desiring early admittance into the building must be dropped at the front circle, sign in at the main office, and must be directly supervised by that staff member. Morning supervision from a designated staff member will take place at the main entrance beginning at 7:30 AM. Students should not be dropped off prior to 7:30 AM.
Morning Drop-Off
All students must be dropped off at the rear of the building. Morning supervision from a designated staff member will take place at the rear entrance beginning at 7:45 AM. Students will be dismissed at 8:00 AM to report to period one. If students are arriving at school after 8:05 AM, they must report to the office to be signed in as tardy.
Early Dismissal
It is requested that students are not picked up from school early, but in the event this must happen, students will report to the office where they will be dismissed. No student will be allowed to leave school without a guardian listed in their Genesis Portal. Students must be in attendance for four and a half hours in order to be marked present and participate in after school activities.
Dismissal/Afternoon Pick-Up
All students not taking the bus will exit the building through the gym lobby. If being picked up by car:
Students in grades three, four, and five should be picked up in our Borough School parking lot.
Students in grades six, seven, and eight should be picked up in the Simon's Park parking lot.
If you have children in both grade groups, you may pick the parking lot that is most convenient for you.
Students are not to be picked up in the front of the building or in the Board of Education parking lot.
Additional Helpful Information
Students who are eligible to take the bus are highly encouraged to utilize this service. This will reduce the amount of cars using the parking lot.
Please consider carpooling with a friend or neighbor. Effective carpooling will also reduce the amount of cars using the parking lot.
Be a good member of the Morris Plains community and a model for our students. Each person on the line has reasons for leaving as quickly as they can. Everyone wants to exit quickly. Practice responsible driving practices by giving the right of way to others, driving slowly, and always being alert.
