Jefferson Pick-up and Drop-off Procedures
MORNING DROP-OFF PROCEDURES
- The gate will be unlocked at 7:40am DAILY to begin dropping students off.
- Students should not be left unattended before staff opens the gate at 7:40am.
- Parents will drive vehicle through the drop off lane on 3rd street and let student(s) out once in designated drop-off area.
- Please let students out of the vehicles once you are at a complete stop anywhere in the drop-off lane.
- Parents WILL NOT BE ALLOWED to park across the street as this slows down the flow of traffic in the intended drop-off lane.
- Be ALERT and follow directions of staff to ensure line runs quickly, smoothly and most importantly SAFE for our students.
- Students should be packed up and ready to get out of the vehicle to keep the line moving smoothly. (It is best if student sits in the backseat of the passenger side of vehicle.)
- Once vehicle has come to a complete STOP your child may get out of the vehicle.
- We are able to unload 5-6 vehicles at once when procedures are followed, and parents pull all the way up to the 1st available drop off area.
AFTERNOON PICK-UP PROCEDURES
- Students will be ready for pick-up beginning at 3:05pm.
- Parents will stay in their vehicles and line up down 3rd street and onto Jackson. (Do not let the long line scare you! :) It goes pretty quick once everyone learns and follows procedures!)
