Dr. Green Daily Procedures

Drop Off Zone and Parking lot (7:30 am): Student drop off lane for parents to drop off students is accessible for students in grades 1-5. For students PreK and Kinder we recommend parents to park in the last parking row (if available) and walk your children to the building. An office clerk greets students and helps out parents at the drop off area. One custodian secures and supervises the teachers’ access lane. Teachers have access to the parking lot by displaying the Staff Parking green card and park in any available space within the first 3 rows.

Accessing the building (Office opens at 7:30 am): All personnel and visitors enter through the main front office entrance. All personnel wears their district badge. All visitors will stop at the front desk for service. Visitors are required to show a valid ID and stay in the office while they are being helped by the office staff. No parent is permitted to have or accompany their children during breakfast or lunch periods.

Morning Blacktop Supervision: (7:30 to 8:00 am) All students are greeted in the morning, students are guided to the blacktop to line up. The 2 PE Coaches and the Campus Monitor monitor students from 7:30 am to 8:00 am.

Instruction: (8:00 am) It is expected for students to be in line at 8:00 am. Instruction begins at 8:15, however, students should be in the classroom for announcements and breakfast before 8:15.

Accessing Classrooms: (8:00 am)Teachers pick up students from the blacktop. Students have breakfast in the classroom and instruction begins.

Tardies: (8:15 am) Any student coming into the front door of the school after 8:15 am, is considered late. Parents need to drop off the students in the front office. The students will receive a tardy slip by the office clerks to be able to get in their classroom.

Lunch: (ranges from 11:00-12:30 according to grade schedule) Teachers take students to recess, outside monitors bring students to the cafeteria for lunch. Teachers pick up students from the cafeteria adhering to the set schedule.

Dismissal: (3:25 pm) Teachers exit the main entrance and take students to the front area for dismissal.

Buses/Daycare: (3:25 pm) All students wear a bus tag according to the bus or daycare vans they are riding. Students in PreK, Kinder and 1st grade are picked up by our campus clerk and guide them to the cafeteria for bus boarding. Grades 2-5 walk to the cafeteria and are received by 2 monitors. Paraprofessionals will be securing and supervise the bus area in the cafeteria ensuring that every student on the list rides the bus/daycare vans. Paraprofessionals will account for every student by checking off students’ names as they board the vehicles. Students attending the after school extended daycare are gathered at the Community Room.

Dismissal Areas: (3:25 pm) All students are dismissed at the front of the school by their teachers. Each grade level has an assigned waiting area for parents. Students are dismissed only to the parents or the parent’s designee.

Afterschool Traffic: (3:25 pm)The drop off area is accessible for students pick up. We encourage only students in Grades 1-5 to use the drop off/pick up area. PreK-Kinder parents will park and walk to pick up their children. Pre-determined teacher volunteers, PE Coaches work the traffic flow and crosswalks.

Drop off/pick up zone is open every day in the morning and at dismissal. For the safety of all students and adults, we only open the first lane. The second lane is for faculty and staff entrance to the parking lot. We recommend that the drop off zone is used for students in grades 1-5. Students in grade PreK and Kinder require more time due to car seats and additional personal supplies. In order to efficiently and timely expedite the drop offs, we ask that students are ready to get off the car, including a kiss and a hug at home. Please do not park in the faculty parking spaces-the first three rows or double park. We appreciate your understanding.

Please be mindful of the parking lot flow, enter only at the entrance not the exit, and when looking for a parking space, please pay attention to the direction the parking lines are pointing to.

Extremely important! Please do not park in the yellow line adjacent to the sidewalk. Parking in this area blocks vehicles parked in the last row.

Please notify your children teacher and office staff if your children will be riding the school bus. Transportation is provided only to those students whose parent signed a transportation request form and this was approved by the school office. Please call our office at (915) 236-3000 to verify if you meet transportation eligibility criteria.
