Morning Drop Off Reminders

Morning Drop Off Reminders
As we return from winter break we wanted to remind everyone of our drop off procedures.
To help keep traffic flowing and ensure student safety, please keep the following reminders in mind:
  • Pull forward: When dropping your child off, please pull as far forward as possible before allowing them to exit the vehicle.
  • Please Do Not Stop Along the Sidewalk If There Is Room to Pull Forward. To ensure a safe and efficient drop-off process, please continue pulling forward along the curb if there is space available. Staff will safely guide students down the sidewalk to the school doors from all points within the drop-off zone. There is no need to stop directly in front of the school entrance. Thank you for helping us keep traffic moving and students safe!
  • Exit from the passenger side only: For the safety of all students, children should only exit from the passenger side of the car.
  • Stay in your vehicle: Parents should remain in the vehicle at all times during drop-off. Please make sure your child has everything they need and is ready to exit the vehicle quickly once you reach the drop-off zone.
  • Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us create a safe and smooth start to each school day!
