Student Sign-in/out Procedure
In our continuing efforts to keep our students safe, we are implementing some changes.
If you and your child arrive to Luce Road Early Childhood Center a little behind schedule and
get here after the 7:53am bell, we will now ask you to sign in your child in the office. It is simple -
your name, your student’s name, their teacher and the time you arrived.
If you are asking for your child to leave school early, we will ask you to come in and sign out
your child. It will be the same process as a late arrival: your name, your student’s name, time
and teacher. If you have other adults on the approved pick up list, we will ask them to sign out
the student; we may also ask them to see their driver’s license or photo ID.
This is the same process that Hillcrest and Pine Avenue Schools do to check students in and
out, so your familiarity with our process will make the next years easy!
Thanks for your help - we would be happy to answer any questions. Remember, our first
responsibility is to keep our students safe.

APS App/Rooms
Please make sure you are using and checking the APS app, Rooms. This is the way your teacher will communicate with you throughout the year about all the great things going on in your classroom. If you have any questions about the app please contact the main office, 989-463-1012.
Also, make sure to turn on notification!
Student Drop-off and Pick-Up
Reminder, when dropping off and picking up your child, you MUST either park in the parking lot and walk up to the sidewalk , or drive through the car loop and an adult will assist with getting your child in and out of the vehicle.
Please DO NOT park in the car loop and get out of your vehicle. This causes a delay in the car loop, blocks incoming traffic, and is a safety concern for all.
Thank you!
