Keeping students safe is our highest priority. We expect over 250 students will arrive and be dismissed by car each day-- a tremendous amount in a small area. We need your help keeping our kids safe and in being good neighbors.
Arrival
Car Riders
Please help us ensure the safety of your students by using the designated loop. And, please stay in your car until greeted by the staff.
Staff members will greet students 15 minutes prior to and until the start of the school day.
For your child’s safety, please do not drop students off until staff supervision has arrived.
Students must be dropped off in the loop at the back of the school. The front lot is not an acceptable place to drop off your students.
Help us be good neighbors. As you await entrance into the loop please keep all of the driveways of surface streets clear and accessible to our neighbors.
If you arrive after the start of school, please park in the front lot and walk your child to the office to check in.
Buses
Bus Stop Lookup Tool is the most up-to-date information is on the SBLSD Transportation page. Please follow this link to find the latest information on bus routes. We will greet each of your students as they exit the bus and arrive on campus. We also have staff stationed throughout the campus to help supervise and get your student to the correct classroom.
Dismissal - Begins at 3:45pm
We need your help, patience & support in keeping traffic moving on the roads near campus. To ensure a safe and efficient dismissal, we ask that you follow the recommended procedures:
Please have your Car Tag clearly displayed during dismissal so that we can ensure the safety of our students. If you do not yet have your car tag it will come home on the first day of school in your student's backpack - please call the school to get your car tag number for the first day of school pick up. You can write it on a piece of paper and display it on your dash for the first day. (We may ask for ID if you use this method)
Car Pick Up: Please do not arrive on campus before 3:30 pm. We will open the loop at 3:45. During the first two weeks of school the pick up process is slow and takes some practice. Many people pick up their children the first few days of school. The process WILL speed up. Last year we averaged 16 minutes from the moment we opened the loop until car pick up was complete. However, on the first day of school last year it took nearly 40 minutes. Be patient and kind to staff, students and each other.
Walk Up Dismissal: Parents who will be picking their students up via "walk up" should wait right to the left side of the galley and line up toward the main office. Please have your car tag ready.
Back Gate Walkers: Students who will be walking home via the back gate will be escorted by a staff member and will walk in a group to the gate. If you would like your child to be dismissed from the front of the campus or if your student will be riding a bike to and from campus please give us a call so that we can plan for adequate safety measures.
Bus Riders: If you need help finding your student's bus route or arrival times, please visit bus routes for more information. Remember that bus routes are new and are always a bit slower during the first week. We want to ensure that we get all of the right students on the right bus.
If you have not yet told us how your child will get home on the first day of school please call the main office to log your preference.
