STUDENT DROP-OFF

Supervision of children arriving to school will begin at 7:20am. Children walking to school or arriving by car will enter through the main entrance on Slade Street. Parents/guardians dropping children off are to pull into the drop off area, in front of the school on Slade Street. There will be staff in this area to greet children as they arrive. In order to keep traffic flowing, it is important that parents proceed out of this area after dropping off their child(ren). Please remind children walking to school to use CROSSWALKS and cross with the assistance of the Crossing Guard.

Children should not be on school grounds prior to 7:20am as there is no adult supervision. Morning daycare is available through Family Services Association for those children that need to arrive at school prior to 7:20am.

DISMISSAL

Children that are picked up by car or walk home will exit through the main entrance on Slade Street. Parents/guardians are asked to meet their child(ren) outside on the sidewalk. It is important for the safety of all children that parents/guardians not wait for children in front of doors or on the stairs.

WALKING PATROLS

During the first weeks of school we will be working to create walking patrols. Children will take home a form on the first day of school requesting information on how they are getting to and from school. We will organize children that are walking to and from the same area into groups. The Police Department will be working with us to train the older children as patrol leaders. Any parents/guardians that plan to walk with their children and would like to volunteer to walk along with a patrol group please indicate your availablity on your child's form.
