Parents are welcome to park in the lot across the street from the school. Students will be escorted across the street at marked crossing spots.

Pre-K students must be escorted to the Pre-K gate on the left side of the school by a trusted adult.

If not walking to school, we strongly encourage parents to use our two drop off loops:

Main Loop: For parents of Kinder-5th (elementary) students only.

Pre-K loop: For parents of Pre-K students only. If you have elementary students, in addition to Pre-K students, you may also drop off older students here as well.

For safety reasons, do not drop off students in the parking lots. Parking on campus is for staff use or for drop off and pick up between 8:05 am and 2:30 pm only.

WALKERS

Pre-K: Students will be released to a trusted adult at the Pre-K gate on the left side of the school.

Grades K-2: Classroom teachers will escort the student across the street to the housing area. Parents may park across the street from the school or walk up to meet their child in the designated pick-up area.

Grades 3-5: Students will be release to walk on their own to their parent-designated after school destination.

CAR PICK-UP

Pre-K Loop: Use the designated loop Pre-K loop to pick up your child.

Elementary Loop: Because our car loop is also the school’s fire lane, parents will not be permitted to park in the fire lane at any time. Please do not arrive at school prior to 2:45p for pick-up (1:45 on Friday).

Our official dismissal time is 3:00pm (2:00 pm on Friday). In an effort to get the majority of our younger students on their way, we are staggering our departure times as follows:

Kindergarten- 2:50

First Grade 2:53

2nd Grade 2:55

3-5 Grade 3:00

If you are a parent of a student in grades 3-5, please plan on arriving in the car lane after 3pm, even if you have younger students. This delays our ability to get traffic moving efficiently, as the older students will not be released until that time.

We greatly appreciate your assistance. If all of our parents follow these guidelines, our arrival and dismissal times will go more safely and smoothly.
