We have scheduled the last three days of the staff school year for families to pick up students' items (report cards, personal items left in classrooms during the closure, spring pictures, art work, etc...). Our main goal is to get these items into your possession as safely as possible so we've developed a pickup protocol for Monday, June 15th, Tuesday, June 16th, and Wednesday, June 17th. We have not scheduled specific times and days for grade levels or classrooms in order to give families as much flexibility as possible. Families can come to pick up their students' items any of the three days between 9:00 AM and 2:30 PM. With Barnard's enrollment hovering around 400 students, we anticipate that even with three days allotted to pickup, the line of vehicles could be lengthy at times. Please plan ahead.
Item pickup will be facilitated through the back doors of the school located between the gymnasium and the library where parents drop offs occur during the normal school year. To access this area, please drive through the side parking lot to the blacktop area behind the back play structure. Just like at student drop off, form a line that loops around the back blacktop area.
When you pull around to the doors, a masked and gloved staff member will be stationed to take your child's name and room number. They will radio the information to the staff members in the gym, who will retrieve your child's bagged items.
For your family's health and safety, as well as the health and safety of our staff, your party must remain in your vehicle at all times while you are on campus. We also ask that you remain masked and gloved during the entirety of the interaction.
Please note that staff has been instructed that they cannot receive any item, such as paperwork or notes, at any time during pickup. If you need to drop something off to the school or have any questions, please call the main office to set up an appointment. Appointments will be scheduled starting Thursday, June 18th.
