Recently, we have seen an increase in potentially unsafe behaviors for students during morning arrival afternoon departure. We have reminded students during our daily announcements about safety when walking to and from school, and we ask that parents follow established traffic flow patterns for school drop-off/pick-up procedures as well.
Walkers
Students who are walking from the Hammonds Mill subdivision must cross at the cross-walk and walk on the sidewalk in front of the primary school and up the sidewalk next to the SMMS side parking lot. The sidewalks are there for student safety; please use them! We cannot have students cutting between cars in the road and in the side parking lot. Students, please watch for traffic.
In the afternoon, walkers are dismissed after the buses pull away.
Parent Drop-off and Pick-up
Drop-off in the front circle ends at 7:12 – we cannot block buses from dropping off there. If you are later than 7:12, parents must enter the side parking lot and circle to drop off at the side door.
Afternoon pick-up is in the front circle after the buses pull away at approximately 2:30. Students are not permitted to walk to other locations and meet parents for pick-up. Please be at school for parent pick up by 2:30 PM. Pickup is typically finished by 2:43.
