Drop Off & Pick Up

Early Building Admittance

Any student desiring early admittance into the building must be dropped at the front of the building and be directly supervised by that staff member. All other students should not be dropped off prior to 8:05 AM unless they have a previous appointment with a teacher.

Morning Drop-Off

In order to provide the safest, most efficient morning drop off, we ask that all students be dropped off in the drop off zone along the sidewalk of Mountain Way. Students will then enter the school through the gym lobby doors. Morning drop off supervision from designated staff members will take place beginning at 8:05 AM. Homeroom begins at 8:20 AM- any student arriving after 8:20 AM will be marked tardy and must be signed in by an adult.

Early Dismissal

Parents are requested to not ask to have their child dismissed from school before the regular dismissal time. However, in the event it does become necessary due to a medical or dental appointment or emergency, the student must present a written request for early dismissal to their classroom teacher. At the early dismissal time, students will report to the main entrance area where they will be dismissed when their parent/guardian arrives. No student will be allowed to leave school without her/his parent or guardian. Students must be in attendance for four hours in order to be marked present.

Dismissal/Afternoon Pick-Up

Dismissal from school begins at 2:50 PM. Parents/guardians must park their vehicle along Mountain Way and approach the school on foot to retrieve your child(ren). Teachers are not permitted to dismiss students without an authorized pickup person present (unless the child has written consent to walk home without supervision).

Cars are not permitted to park in “the circle” or school parking lot during afternoon pick-up. This area is reserved for the buses. We need to work together to maintain a safe, effective drop-off and pick-up procedure.

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 navigating the area of the school.

  • Please consider carpooling with a friend or neighbor. Effective carpooling will also reduce the amount of cars.
