8:20 AM - Tardy Bell, Instructional Day Begins

2:40 PM (MTWF) / 2:00 PM (Th) - Dismissal

• Car pick up along Sunningdale starting at 2:50 after busses depart.
• Walking students, including walkers meeting parents, meet at the front of the school.
• Street parking along Andrews.

During the arrival and dismissal widows, traffic patterns convert to ONE WAY heading NE on Sunningdale Rd and heading W on Andrews Rd. This applies only for the section of road around the perimeter of the school campus. There will be cones and staff to help direct you.

DROP OFF OPTIONS

Option 1: Drop off your child from your car on Sunningdale Rd. Car drop off is located on the west side of the building along the primary playground area. Supervision will begin at 8:05. School doors open at 8:10. Please note that Sunningdale is a one way road during the arrival and dismissal windows.

Option 2: Park and walk your child to the front of the building. Street parking is available along Andrews or along side streets. We ask that all students be escorted when crossing a street and recommend that younger and new students be escorted to the front entrance.

Option 3: Have your child ride the bus. See Forest Hills Bus Routes for specific bus stop locations and times. Students need to be registered for transportation: Transportation Registration Form

PICK UP OPTIONS

Option 1: Pick up your child with your car on Sunningdale Rd. Car pick up starts at 2:50pm to allow busses time to board and depart. Once busses depart, cars can pull forward and students will be escorted to their cars. Note: For safety reasons, we do not allow car pick up in the front of the building along Andrews Rd.

Option 2: Meet your child (walking) at the front of the building. Students will congregate near the front main entrance. Students are not allowed on the playground during the dismissal window. This allows front office staff to ensure all students have been safely dismissed.

Option 3: Have your child ride the bus.

Be aware that there are students in your child's school and extended day care who have a life-threatening food allergy to peanuts and tree nuts. We are a "nut-aware" district and not a "nut-free" district. But, it is our goal to ensure that every student in our school is as safe as possible. Because these students cannot be in contact with peanuts and tree nuts we are requesting that you consider not sending these foods to school, when possible.

Please discuss the following with your child:

• Do not offer, share or exchange any foods or utensils with other students at school. Please do not wipe food onto the floor.
• Hand washing and cleaning desks with soap and water or baby wipes after eating decreases the chance of cross contamination on surfaces at school.
• If your child rides the bus, remind him or her that there is a "no eating on the bus" policy.
• Please help your child to understand that some foods he or she freely enjoys can be dangerous to others.

Please do not send in peanut/tree nut products for classroom celebrations or projects. Additionally, all food sent in for these occasions must be commercially prepared and have an ingredient label. Fresh fruits and vegetables are acceptable. Wash carefully.

All schools will begin utilizing a new visitor management system. This system will enhance school safety by screening and registering visitors. During the first weeks of school, please take a moment to register with the front office using your driver's license or passport. Your patience is greatly appreciated in this first stage of implementation.

After registering, visitors will receive a printed visitor badge with each visit. Badges will include name, photo, and destination of visitors, allowing staff to better support a safe school environment.

Supply lists can be found through the 1st Day School Supplies site. Note that the deadline for purchasing pre-packaged supply kits has passed and are no longer available. Families will need to purchase items from the list separately.

Beginning July 29, parents of all students already enrolled for the 2019-20 school year can log into ParentVUE and review/update student information through the Online Registration tab. Accurate information allows the school communicate effectively, including during an emergency and when responding to medical situations.

If you have forgotten your ParentVUE password, go to the login page, click "I am a Parent," then click "Create New Account or Reset Password" and choose "Forgot Password". (The district will mail another Activation Key letter to parents who have not created a ParentVUE login and have an elementary school student.) For guidance, visit the LOSD website (under Enrolling and Transfer > Online Registration) or contact your student's school during its summer office hours. We appreciate your help!
