• UPDATED CAR DROP-OFF AND PICK-UP PROCEDURES 8.27.25

  In the interest of improved safety and efficiency, we have revised our car drop-off and pick-up procedures.  This came about after consultation with staff, families and safety personnel.

  Starting on the first day of school, August 28, 2025, here is the updated procedure for students:

  Car Drop-off at Start of Day:

  • For PK students who are driven to school, we ask parents/guardians to park in the lower parking lot and to walk their children to the double doors in the PK-2 wing, near the playground.  Drop-off starts at 8:15 am.  Staff members will be there to guide families and to welcome our students.

  • For any student who is unable to unbuckle their car seat or seat belt or to exit the vehicle independently, we ask those parents/guardians to also park in the parking lot and walk their child to the double doors.

  • Car drop-off in the line through the parking lot will start for all other students at 8:15 am.  Staff members will direct drivers to the designated drop-off spot as they welcome students to school.

  • Please know that students will only be allowed to exit their car on the curb side (for safety), which is the passenger side of the vehicle, so please plan accordingly.

  • Please have students ready to be dropped off, all set with backpack and other belongings, so that drop off will run efficiently and safely.

  • Any student arriving after 8:30 am should be walked by an adult to the front door of school to sign the child in as tardy.

  • Please remember that there is no parking in the circle directly in front of school as this is a fire lane.

  Car Pick-up at End of Day:

  • School Dismissal is at 3:00 pm, except for Preschool, which dismisses at 2:50 pm.

  • For the safety of our children, we will dismiss all students through the double doors near the PK playground to parents/guardians/designated adults, rather than through a car line in the parking lot.

  • Adults will walk to the double doors near the playground, forming two lines.

  • Adults who are authorized to pick up students MUST have the pick-up tag that was sent out in the Welcome Packet with them and they should be prepared to show photo ID.

  • Staff members will release students to appropriate adults in family groups.

  We thank you for your patience as we implement these revised procedures.  We are a close-knit community who cares about our children’s safety and well-being and we are implementing these practices to further develop our sense of community.

  Thank you for your support.

  Sincerely,

  Ruth W. Rose, Principal
