Important Arrival/Dismissal Information

Arrival 

  • School begins at 8:45am. Families are NOT permitted to drop their child(ren) at school any earlier than 8:45am unless you've enrolled in before care through Rec & Ed.
  • Parents will pull up in the front circle drive, allow their children to exit the car and proceed out of the parking lot. Parents who drop their children off should pull all the way to the end of the front circle drive, allowing other cars to pull up behind you. DO NOT stop in front of the school and do not park in the front circle.
  • Children who ride their bike or walk to school should arrive at 8:45am.
  • Children who ride the bus will unload in the back of the building. Buses will line up near the curb closest to Mitchell. This is a no parking zone – please leave this lane open.

Dismissal

  • Dismissal is the busiest time of day. Be patient and go slowly – Safety First! 
  • Dismissal is at 3:48pm. Parents should plan to begin arriving at 3:40pm in the pick up line.
    • We will use the Driveline App to manage dismissal for students being picked up. Please watch this video to learn how Driveline works. 
    • New families will be given a Driveline family ID at the welcome back Meet & Greet or it will be sent home on the first day of school. Upon arrival for pick-up, staff will enter the family ID into the system. This will alert the classroom teacher that the child's parent/guardian has arrived.
    • Families who received their Driveline tag last year – The ID is the same. You're all set and will not receive a new tag.
    • Students will remain in the classroom during dismissal until their parent arrives at school. 
    • All students must depart immediately. Students are not allowed to remain on the playground after school and must be picked up by 3:48pm.

Bus Riders

  • Students who ride the bus will load in the back of the building.
  • Bus riders will be dismissed at 3:48pm and buses will depart by 4:00pm.

Walkers

  • Children walking home will be dismissed at 3:48pm and will walk straight home. Again, students will not be allowed to remain on the playground.
