Parent Drop off:

Parents are asked to enter the parking lot from Abilene and follow the path all the way around the lot for the drop-off lane. Cars are not permitted to park in the driveway, only in designated parking spaces. You must stay in your car, as this will keep the line moving. Children must be seated on the right side of the vehicle. This parking lot is also used for parents who would like to walk with their child to the front door.

Buses:

West Side (second entrance off Abilene Road) – The west side will be used during the hours of 7:15 – 8:15 a.m. and 2:00 – 3:15 p.m. as a bus and daycare providers’ drop-off/pick-up lane only.

For the safety of our students, no cars are allowed in the bus line.

Walkers/Bike Riders:

• Students walking or riding a bike to school may enter the school at 7:30 a.m.
• Please keep in mind that only students in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades may ride bikes to school.
• Bikes must be parked in the bike racks in front of the building.

Late Arrivals:

The parent will escort their child to the door, ring the bell, enter the building and sign their child in on the sign in/out sheet, which is located in the lobby. The child will then report to the office for a “pass” to class.

Parent Pick Up:

• If you are picking your child up by car, please do not park and get out of your car to meet your child. You will need to stay in the car lane.
• Car riders will be dismissed after bus riders.
• Students will stand by their grade level cone until their parent pulls up to the curb in front of the school.
• Students are not allowed to walk through the parking lot unattended.

Student safety is our priority. Our student day concludes at 2:55 p.m. Thank you, in advance, for your patience. Should your dismissal plans change, please inform your child’s teacher (or main office) prior to 2:00 p.m.
