Breakfast and lunch are free. If your child eats breakfast, they must enter through the cafeteria doors which open at 7:30 a.m. Please do not drop your student off any earlier than 7:30 a.m. as there is no supervision prior to this time. Breakfast is available until 8:30 a.m. every day.

As part of our commitment to ensuring the safety and well-being of our students, we have made several updates to our safety protocols and procedures. Please take a moment to review the pictures below, which highlight important safety information and changes we have implemented. Your partnership and understanding are vital in maintaining a secure environment for all.

Map A: Follow the arrows and drive to the designated drop-off area past the crosswalk (indicated with the green check mark). Do not drop off children in the areas marked with the stop symbol. If you want to walk your child to their grade-level door, please park in one of the designated parking spots, not the carpool lane.

Map B:Please remember to avoid making U-turns on S Killarney St and to come to a complete stop when the crossing guard at the crosswalk holds up the stop sign. Also, the driveway will be blocked starting at 7:30 and will reopen at 3:00 pm.

Map C: Please do not stop or park in the bus lane, even if no buses are present. Follow the crossing guard's instructions at Ireland Way and Killarney St, and refrain from making U-turns on Killarney St.

The grade-level doors will open at 7:50, when the first bell rings. Please have your child enter their grade-level doors if your child arrives after 8:00 a.m. They will need to enter through the main entrance.

Students will be dismissed from their grade level door.

• K-2 parents must pick their child(ren) up from their teacher.
• All students MUST leave the playground until 3:10.

• A separate bus loop on the north side of the school is provided for buses. Under no circumstances may parents park in this area.
• REMEMBER - THE PARKING LOT IS A ONE-WAY SYSTEM.

Any of these items need to be walked or carried on school grounds until you are on Killarney. We have many students and people on school grounds during arrival and dismissal. Please help us create a safe environment by walking your bike, scooter, or skateboard when on the school premises.

Please keep all animals off school grounds between 7:30 am and 3:30 pm. This includes bringing dogs to drop off and pick up. We have students who are allergic and also some who have been bitten by animals. The school grounds need to provide a feeling of safety for all our children.
