Reminders

Doors Open: 8:47
School Starts: 8:57
Dismissal: 3:45
We do not have supervision outside prior to 8:47
If your child is home with a fever or vomiting, you must keep them home until they are fever free and/or vomiting free for 24 hours without medication

Parent Drop-Off 🚗

If you're dropping your student off, please follow the procedures we have in place and use the designated drop-off area. We understand the line can be long, but it is long for everyone. If you or your student has a specific need that warrants a different drop-off location, please contact the office.

Dismissal

Parents should remain in their vehicles and have their child's number ready when arriving for pick-up.

For students in Kinderstart - 3rd grade, parent pick-up is at the front of the building ONLY. Please do not pick up students behind the school or at the north doors. The north doors are used for GSRP and ECSE ONLY. This procedure is in place to help ensure the safety of all students and families.

If you need to buckle your child in, please get them in the vehicle and pull forward. This will help keep the flow of traffic in the pick-up line moving.

Thank you!

Walking/Biking to and From School 🚲

A.M. Arrival:

Students who walk/bike to school should enter through Door 4 at the back of the building. Door 4 will be supervised for the first five minutes of the morning, from 8:47–8:52 a.m. After 8:52 a.m., walkers/bikers will need to walk around the building to the front entrance.

P.M. Dismissal:

Students walking/biking after school will exit through the cafeteria doors and follow the designated path to 6th Avenue.

Washington Blvd. Drop-Off & Pick-Up

During morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up, please do not block driveways along Washington Blvd. We have received several complaints from residents who have been unable to leave their homes because their driveways are blocked.

We understand that the line can be long, but please be mindful of our neighbors and keep all driveways clear. This is an important courtesy. Thank you for helping us be good neighbors!

If you're looking for ways to support our amazing teachers, Lakewood Educational Foundation wants to remind you to participate in their "Pick an Apple” initiative, where you can support a classroom with items - big or small. If you're interested, use the link below and take a moment to see if there's anything you can provide for our littlest learners.

Together, we grow.
