Arrival and Dismissal Procedures

ARRIVAL & DISMISSAL 

The school day begins at 7:40 am and ends at 3:10 pm. Doors open for arrival at 7:15 am and students enter through either the front or side doors. Families are not permitted to accompany their students to their classrooms at arrival time. Doors open for dismissal at 3:10. It does take time for learning to stop and classes to walk to the exit.

All students need to be picked up by 3:30 pm. Please make arrangements so no child is left behind without adult supervision before or after school. The office is not staffed to monitor students after 3:30pm. Parents will need to come to the front office to sign students out beginning at 3:30pm.

PARKING & TRAFFIC 

Our priority during arrival and dismissal is safety. Our historic school does not have a dedicated car or bus lane so traffic can be a challenge. We ask that all families follow the traffic flow patterns described in the graphic below.  We ask that all drivers use caution and limit distractions as they are going through the car line.

Should you require parking throughout the school day,  street parking off the campus side streets are available.  Do not block the fire lane or the crosswalk and pay close attention to street signs related to parking regulations. Handicapped parking spaces need to be left available for those in our community who need them at all times.  Staff parking lots are reserved at all times.
