Arrival/Departure

Parent drop off and pick up

1st through 5th families please enter the parking lot from the Howard St. entrance and follow the loop around to the curb (please avoid the smaller kinder loop unless you have Kindergarten students). Please do not let your child out of your vehicle until you are safely stopped along the curb. When approaching the curb, please drive down the curb to the furthest open space to stop. This will allow more cars to pull curbside and reduce traffic back up. This also applies when picking your child up after school. If you are the parent of a student in grades 3-5, you are welcome to drop off/pick up your child in front of the playground behind the cafeteria (the “red” playground) on Howard St. We will have adult supervision at the walker entrance near the buses. Please do not pull into the bus loop, so that we keep it cleared for our buses. 

Kinder Parents when you enter off Howard or from Reser Road you will move into the smaller loop east of the main walkway (loop that is by the kinder classrooms). Your students will be waiting inside the fence against the building. Please do not use this loop if you do not have a kindergartener.  If you have a K student and a student in another grade they are welcome to meet their sibling and be picked up in the kinder loop.

We understand the need to hurry but please slow down to ensure the safety of students, families and staff. All families are wanting to be in and out but we all need to work together to make this happen.
