For ALL families that plan to drop off and pick up students by car, please fill out the Car Rider Registration Form found below: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSelzuBlo8VAgvrKyhmIZoWKCTsIQvrNArDmc8vgrIOYXzTVLw/viewform

Parents--we need your help! Please remember that the circle drive in front of the main doors is for bus drop off only. Car rider drop off is following the loop off of Waverly Street. Please help us keep students safe and buses on schedule by following the drop off procedures each day. Car rider route is in blue, bus route is in yellow. Map attached below for reference. Thank you!

🚨 Arrival:

Students may arrive between 8:40 and 9:00 for breakfast. Please do not drop students of at school prior to 8:30 a.m., as there is no supervision before this time and students will not be able to enter the school building. If your child arrives after the 9:00 bell, they will need to enter through the main office with a parent/guardian to obtain a tardy slip so that they are not counted absent.

🚨 Dismissal:

• It is CRITICAL that students and their teachers know exactly how they are supposed to go home each day.
• ALL car riders will gather in the gym and dismiss from the NE doors.
• Walkers will meet and dismiss out the side doors (east side of the building).
• The bus lane in front of the school is reserved for busses during dismissal. Cars may not park in the bus lane. Please do not enter the bus loop in front of the school during dismissal. Buses are on a tight schedule so all cars will need to park in a space or will be asked to move.
• If you should need to change your transportation, parents must call the office at 913.627.7000 and let us know. We will not change transportation arrangements without notification from a parent/guardian. You may contact your child's teacher, but will also need to call the office.

Reminder: Transportation changes must be reported before 2:30 p.m. and 1:00 p.m. on Wednesdays.

Early pick ups will not be permitted after 3:30 p.m. and 1:30 on Wednesdays. At that time, we are moving to our dismissal spots.

Thank you!

Did you know...

When a student misses 2 days a month...

• They will miss 20 days a year
• They will miss 30 hours of math over the school year
• They will miss 60 hours of reading and writing over the school year
• They will miss over 1 year of school by graduation

Help us work hard to meet our goal by sending students to school everyday!

🎯 Hazel Grove's Target Attendance Goal for August 2024: 98%

A missed school day is a lost opportunity for students to learn. Did you know that after 3 unexcused absences, the truancy process begins? Each absence after 3 absences needs a doctor's note. You can call our Attendance Secretary (Ms. Crystal) directly at 913.627.7007.

Please make sure your student(s) are coming to school everyday! If your student is ill or will need to be absent, please call the front office. Students who after 9:07 a.m. will be counted tardy. You will need to walk your child into the office to sign them in after 9:07 a.m.
