Arrival & Dismissal Procedures

Families may drop off students after 8:10 am, which is when school supervision begins. All students will have the opportunity to eat breakfast each morning until 8:25 am. All our students should be at school and in their classroom line by 8:30 am.

Kindergarten students are to line up in the covered, gated area near the front entrance (Eagles’ Nest), and first through fifth grade students will line up in their classroom line in the gym. Teachers will pick up students when the first bell rings, and everyone walks to class together.

Parents may pick up their children at the front of the school at the designated dismissal time (2:50 pm Monday–Thursday, 1:35 pm on Friday). Unless part of a student club or other special, supervised activity, students should depart the campus by the time supervision ends at 3:00 pm. Before and after school, staff will assist with traffic.

There are two options for dropping off and picking up your student. PLEASE FOLLOW THE STEPS BELOW TO ENSURE A SAFE DROP OFF/PICK UP.

Drop Off:

1. Park and Walk
Park your vehicle in the main parking lot on 27th Avenue SE. Please do not drop off, park, or wait in the Staff Parking Lot on 110th Street. This area is used by staff, school buses, and designated daycare vans.
Parents must walk their children across the crosswalk directly in front of the office, following the direction of school staff.

2. Drive-through Lane
After 8:10 am, parents may use the drive-through lane. Upon entering the loop, drivers stay to the right in the curb lane and proceed past the main crosswalk and as far forward as the signs direct you. Parents are to remain in the vehicle while their student(s) exit the doors closest to the sidewalk.
After dropping off the student, the driver departs from the curb lane and proceeds out in the left lane.

Pick Up:

1. Park and Walk
Park your vehicle in the main parking lot on 27th Avenue SE and walk through the crosswalk directly in front of the office, following the direction of school staff.
Parents should wait at the southwest corner of the building (south of the flagpole) so as not to block the entrance, as many classes exit out of that door.
Kindergarten students are picked up directly from the covered, gated area near the front entrance.

2. Drive-through Lane
After 2:20 pm, parents may use the drive-through lane.
Upon entering the parking lot, drivers will weave through the lot (see map on reverse side).
Students wait with their classmates at the designated grade-level locations. Students should enter the vehicle through the door closest to the sidewalk while the driver remains in the car.
After picking up the student, the driver departs from the curb lane and proceeds out in the left lane.

Following these procedures will ensure a safe environment for everyone. Please allow for enough time so you are not rushed. Thank you!
