E. Roy Bixby Elementary School

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Students should report to school by 8:30 A.M everyday. On the first two days of school (September 4th and September 5th), students will line up in the courtyard, weather permitting. Drop off and Dismissal procedures are listed below.

Preschool students should be dropped off using the door on Chestnut Avenue.Due to grant funding any preschool students who must be dropped off earlier than 8:30 should register with the before care program, Alphabest.

Any students who are in the Alphabest program should be dropped off and picked up using the entrance on Chestnut Avenue.

Students in grades kindergarten through 2nd can be dropped off using the main office entrance on Fisher Ave. For the safety and smooth flow of traffic during student drop-off, students who are able to independently exit the vehicle may be dropped off in front of the entrance on Fisher Ave. However, parking and exiting your vehicle in this area is prohibited. We encourage families to drive up Maplewood Ave. onto Fisher Ave. to assist with drop off in the morning.

If you wish to accompany your child to the door or if your child needs assistance exiting the vehicle, please park in a designated, legal parking spot. Do not stop or park in front of the entrance. The local police department will be monitoring this area closely and will issue tickets to any vehicles found in violation of these rules.

Preschool student pickup is at 2:30. Preschool students should be picked up using the door on Chestnut Ave. Students in grades kindergarten through 2nd grade should be picked up by 2:55. Students will be picked up at the following locations:

• Kindergarten students can be picked up using the door on Chestnut Ave.

• 1st grade students can be picked up using the main entrance door on Fisher Ave.

• 2nd grade students can be picked up using the courtyard gate entrance on Chestnut Ave.

Sincerely,

Priscilla Ortiz
