Welcome to Parishville-Hopkinton
Important Information as we begin our new School Year:
PHCS Families:
We are welcoming many new families to our district!
We also wanted to share some reminders
for students returning to PHCS for the Fall.
We hope you find the following information helpful...
First Day Of School:
Tuesday, September 3rd!
1. Student Drop Off/Parent Pick Up Location
2. Bus Circle
1. STUDENT DROP OFF-
From 7:30-8:00 am, please use the side door on Route 47 which is designated as the Student Drop Off Area.
Bus Loop is CLOSED to thru traffic from 7:30-8:00 am. This area is for one-way bus traffic ONLY during arrival and dismissal times
If you need to bring your child to school after classes begin at 8:00 am, you may use the Bus Loop AFTER 8:00 am. Please park in an available parking space and use caution as there are various occasions when a bus may enter the loop outside normal arrival and dismissal times.
Please sign your child in at the Main Office when arriving after 8:00 am.
2. BUS CIRCLE:
The loop which goes in front of the main entrance of the building is reserved for ONE-WAY traffic. Please do not drive through with personal vehicles during the following timeframes:
7:30-8:00 am
12:50-1:05 pm
2:15-2:40 pm
Entering the bus loop during these times may result in getting stuck behind buses, unable to turn around due to the single direction of traffic or risking the safety of children boarding buses.
EARLY STUDENT PICK-UP
If you need to pick up your child prior to the 2:30 pm dismissal time, please come to the Main Office to sign your child out. Office staff will then call the classroom and have your child come to meet you. It is helpful to send a note to the classroom teacher in advance.
Please note you must come into the building to sign out your student.
