Before care is FREE from 7:40 – 8:00 AM

• The use of cellular phones is prohibited during arrival, throughout the school day, and dismissal times. • Children should never be left unattended in a car in the parking lot. • No parking is allowed in front of the building due to fire codes. • Cars are to travel one way from north to south in front of the building as illustrated on the map that follows. • The speed limit in the parking lot is 10 MPH. • Arrival and pick-up times are not effective times for parents/guardians to visit with classroom teachers.

The teacher’s primary responsibility during these times is to give attention to children; therefore, lengthy visits at these crucial times can create frustration for the teacher, the student and the parent/guardian.

Please contact the office or teacher to schedule a visit. • Unless your child needs help getting extra materials into the building, we urge parents/guardians to send students into the building on their own. Students should be ready to get out of the car (passenger’s side to avoid accidents) and onto the sidewalk quickly. This practice helps reduce traffic in the driveway during these very busy times. • Students dropped off prior to 7:40 AM will be sent to Before School Care, at which time parents/guardians will be charged for this service (***see Before/After School Care for more details). If a child is to meet with one of their teachers, they MUST have a note from the teacher stating the time and place in which the student is expected to meet that particular teacher. Students are not allowed in the building before 7:40 AM without being under the direct supervision of an adult. • It is very important that parents/guardians are prompt in bringing and picking up children. Children are to be in their classroom no later than the times indicated on the Arrival Chart. Children who are not in their classroom by these times will be marked tardy. • The school strongly discourages early pick-up of children due to the interruption it causes in the learning process. If interruptions are absolutely necessary, they should be limited to illness, doctor’s office visits and family emergencies. • Children who must leave school early must have a written note from their parent/guardian or regular carpool driver; the school must be notified in writing in advance. The person picking your child up must be on your approved list. • All students are dismissed at 3:10 PM. • Students, who are not picked up within 10 minutes of their scheduled dismissal time, including extracurricular activities, will be placed in Kids Create/After School Care. Any fees incurred for early drop off and/or late pick-up must be paid in full prior to the release of student records, including grade cards. • Elementary students will not be allowed to remain at an exit door by themselves as it is school policy that all students must be supervised by an adult at all times.
