๐ Drop off and pick Up Procedures for TK & Kinder
AM Drop Off: All TK/Kindergarten students enter the gate next to the Kindergarten playground. A staff member will be posted at this gate at all times to supervise students entering and ensure that no students leave once they are dropped off. If you wish to escort your child to the gate, you must park in a designated space; you cannot leave your car unattended in the loop. Please be advised that we have buses that also use this loop, and you cannot block their access.
PM Pick Up: All TK/Kindergarten students will exit the gate next to the Kindergarten playground. Students will be dismissed by staff one at a time. We will ask the child, "Show me your person," and we use this generic statement because there are so many different people who pick up children from school (mom, dad, grandparent, family friend, etc.). We kindly ask that whoever is picking up the child remains visible at the gate so the child can locate them, point to them, and be acknowledged before the staff member dismisses them into their care. We follow this protocol out of an abundance of caution as we want to ensure that all children are accounted for as they leave our school.
PLEASE NOTE: Wednesdays are all school dismissal at 12:55 pm. Please allow for extra time as this is an impacted time for our school.
