There is a Drop & Go Line along Floral Lane during morning arrival which is from 8:35 am-8:45 am.

Upon entering the building, students will be supervised by Long staff members in the following locations:
Kindergarten-Second Grade - First Floor Hallway

At 8:45 a.m., the arrival doors will close. Students arriving after 8:45 a.m. should use the Front Entrance and will be marked late. Students arriving late must be signed in with a parent or guardian. Notification will be sent when your child has reached 5 tardies.
Parents need to inform their child’s teacher regarding how their child will be dismissed after school - walking home, picked up by a designated person, or attending ALPHABest (the onsite child care provider).
Parents/caregivers are expected to pick up their children punctually at dismissal times, if that is the arrangement that a parent has made for his/her child at dismissal.
Those children who are not picked up punctually will be escorted to the main office by their teacher, and office staff will then proceed to call each child’s parents and emergency contacts to pick up the child.
