PICKUP AND DROPOFF DIRECTIONS
Child safety is our #1 priority! This plan makes certain children enter and exit vehicles safely. Students are not allowed to enter crosswalks unaccompanied by an adult. Due to parking lot size limitations, we kindly ask guardians to remain in their vehicles at all times. Please be patient as we ensure the safety of all our students!
Vehicles will enter the parking lot to form ONE lane along the sidewalk. Vehicles will pull forward all the way to the end of the sidewalk.
Students will exit vehicles from the passenger side only. Students may exit anywhere along the sidewalk from point B to point C.
Once students are safely on the sidewalk, vehicles may cautiously enter the second lane to the left and exit. Staff will be available to help shut doors if necessary. Drivers are not allowed to exit their vehicles.
Please note: The gate will not open until 8:45am MTTHF and 9:45am Wednesday.
Please do not allow your student out of your vehicle until the gate is open and staff has arrived at the drop-off area.
Occasionally a student will need extra support. Please do not go around the car in front of you to re-enter the line in front of them as it could pose a danger to drivers and students.
A Vehicles will enter the parking lot and form two lines beginning at the crosswalk B (kindergarten families should use the middle lane). Students will gather by grade level in section C.
Each vehicle will have a sign in the window with student(s) and name(s). A staff member located at B will call out student name(s) in groups of seven, alternating between lanes, via walkie talkie to additional staff stationed with students waiting in section C. Students will queue at D (the flagpole) and be ready as you pull up.
Vehicles will merge to form ONE line along the pickup lane as directed by staff at Point B cone. Students will enter the passenger side of the vehicle only.
Please Note: Kindergarten students are typically packed and ready at 3:30, or 5 minutes before the final bell, and we try to get them to the waiting area as quickly as possible. 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th grades typically work right up to the bell and therefore need more time to pack up and make their way to the pickup area. To help the line move as quickly as possible, please stagger your arrival time for the latest grade level you will be picking up.
We suggest Kindergarten arrive at 3:30, 1st grade at 3:35, 2nd grade at 3:40, and 3rd and 4th grades at 3:45 to alleviate traffic back up on 199th.
Kinder families will be pulled out of the middle lane by a staff member and directed to pickup so that our youngest learners needing more assistance can be loaded. If your child needs assistance buckling their seatbelt, please pull forward to a parking space.
PICKUP SIGN
Parents, guardians and those approved to pickup students must hang this sign on the rearview mirror of your vehicle so that staff may read and student name(s). Tags will be available at Back To School Night, or you can make your own.
Name(s) will be called out via walkie talkie to students waiting and students will queue accordingly along the sidewalk.
Drivers need to pay attention to the staff member reading the name(s). The staff member will indicate to the driver when to move forward.
Drivers will slowly move forward in line until they reach their student(s). Students will enter the passenger side of the vehicle only - students must not cross between cars. Drivers are not allowed to exit their vehicles. Staff will be on hand to assist students if needed.
