Reminder: School Wide Procedures for Drop Off and Pick Up!
1. Car line begins at 7:30. Please do not drop students off before 7:30 and leave them unattended! If you know you need to drop off before 7:30, please contact Reaching Readers Project (flier below). They offer before school care from 7:00-7:30 for $25 per week.
2. Parents MAY NOT drop students off in the front of the building. If you get to school after 8:00, this is the ONLY acceptable procedure:
1. Park your car in a parking place- not in the bus line!
2. Walk your student(s) into the school
3. Sign your student(s) in in the front office
3. Car line is FINISHED at 3:30. We have had a steady increase of parents not showing up at school until 4:00, 4:30, even 5:00. We will always work with you, but please do not abuse our kindness! If you know you are consistently going to be later than 3:30, please reach out to Reaching Readers (see flier below). They offer a cost effective and flexible ($55 per week) after school program at AAA.
4. We are all busy in the mornings and afternoons! No one loves drop off and pick up and we understand all the stress that comes with getting our children settled so we can start our day. That being said... please do follow our procedures and be kind! Our teachers are on duty and they have to leave on time so school can start on time!
