All parents dropping off at points B and C must exit onto Alturia Road
Drop off point B: Kindergarten
• Kindergarten students must be dropped off at designated area point “B”.
• They will then enter at the main school doors.
• On rainy days, parents may park and walk their child in or drop them off at the circle drive.
• Students who arrive between 7:30 and 7:50 must then proceed to the school gym. Teachers will collect the students from the gym and walk them back to their classroom. Starting at 7:50am all students in Kinder through 8th grade must be dropped off at point “B”.
Drop off point C: Preschool ONLY
• Preschool parents should park in the available parking spots located near the front entrance of the school.
• A sign in table will be located near the front doors. Please sign your child in on the assigned book for your child’s classroom teacher.
• For the first few weeks of school parents may walk their child to his or her classroom. Starting after Labor Day we ask that you please watch your child from the front lobby and let them walk to the classroom by themselves. This is to help develop a sense of independence for the students. We will have teachers and aids in the hallway to help us with the transition.
Tardy Slips:
All students will be marked tardy if they are not in the building by 7:55am. Students who arrive after 8:00 am must have a parent/guardian park and walk them into the building to sign them in to school.
