Notes from the Nurse

Ridley School District Nurse

Kindergarten & Third-grade Families
The Pennsylvania School Health Law requires dental examinations for children in these grades. If the school nurse has not received the completed dental examination form by December 1st, the dental hygienist will schedule your child for a dental examination.
Drop off / Pick Up Procedures
School begins at 8:40 am every day. At 8:40am, students will begin entering the building with their teachers and classmates. Classroom and side building doors will be accessible until 8:45am for students.
After 8:45, students will be permitted to enter through the main, front doors; however, they will be considered tardy and marked as such.
Students will not be permitted into the building before 8:10 a.m. for breakfast as there will be no supervision.
School ends at 3:05pm on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, and at 2:15pm on Wednesday. Students will dismiss out of their assigned location (classroom doors, side hallway doors, etc.) every day, regardless of time or weather.
On designated half days, students are dismissed at 11:45am.
Please do not block the driveway, front circle, or vacate your car while parked in these areas as this is a fire and safety hazard.
Pick up and Drop Off
We have two car lanes in the morning and afternoon. The lane along the curb is a parking lane. The second lane is pick up and drop off lane. Please stay in your car in the second lane and move up to free up traffic on Amosland Road.
Please use the crossing guards to cross the street. Please do not cross at the entranceway to the front driveway.
Neighbors: Please be mindful of local residents when dropping-off and picking-up students. Do not block driveways or disrupt our Amosland neighbors.
Weather: Each morning at 8:00 am, the administrative team references online weather reports for local climate conditions. Students will always be indoors when the weather includes rain, snow, or below freezing temperatures.
There will be a sign on the front steps of the building letting parents know if students are to be βINβ or βOUTβ. On βINβ mornings, for safety reasons, the front door will remain the only entrance door for students. Students will enter the front doors and line-up with their classmates in the cafeteria.
Personal Items/ Lunch/ School Materials
We have a drop-off bin located at the front entrance for parent use. When needing to get items to your child during the school day (lunch boxes, iPads, water bottles, snack, homework folders, hats, etc.), please place your drop-off materials in the bin labeled with your child's name, grade, and teacher. Staff will check the bin frequently and be sure to deliver the items quickly.
When dropping off items for classroom parties OR when visiting/volunteering in the classroom you must come to the front entrance. Please push the front doorbell and be buzzed into the main office to follow visitor procedures. DO NOT go to the teacher's classroom door.
