Miles Elementary
Welcome to the Miles Elementary Newsletter
Fencing for our construction project will begin on Wednesday Oct. 8. All staff and Parents need to park in the designated areas.. The drop off area for the elementary will be smaller. Please be patient, there will be delays.
Drop-Off Reminders
All elementary student drop-off/dismissal will take place in front of the elementary building.
(Students who are not riding the bus and are eating breakfast will walk through the playground and around the back of the junior high to enter the cafeteria.)
· Drop-off runs from 7:30 AM to 7:50 AM.
· Students should not be dropped off before 7:30 AM.
· The tardy bell rings at 7:55 AM. If you arrive after this time, please sign in at the front office.
· Drive slow and watch for pedestrians crossing from the parking lot to the building.
· Please remain in the car line during drop-off.
· Visitors are not permitted beyond the front office.
· Parents may walk their child to class only on the first day of school.
· If you need to come into the building, you may park along 10th street or in the auditorium parking lot.
Dismissal Reminders
- Everyone will be dismissing from the front of the building. Changes to times
- PreK: 3:20pm
- Kinder: 3:25pm
- Walkers, Bus Kids: 3:30pm
- 1st-2nd Grade 3:32pm

To ensure a smooth and safe dismissal, please follow these guidelines:
· Do not arrive early to avoid blocking the pickup line.
· Students will only be released from the curb if accompanied by an adult.
· Stay in the car line unless you need to enter the building—if so, please park in designated areas by the auditorium or along 10th Street.
· Once Kindergarten dismissal begins, the Elementary parking lot will be closed for through traffic and used only for curbside pickup. This area will be coned off to maintain flow and safety.
· There will be no passing other cars in the dismissal line.
Thank you for helping us keep dismissal safe and efficient for everyone!
