KINDERGARTEN ONLY

Parents, you may walk your student to class between 8:20-8:40 on the phase-in days and on the first full day, August 14, 2024.

• When dropping off your child at the school, please use the single left lane closest to the building for drop-off. Keep in mind that cars will always yield to buses. To ensure student safety, please pull forward in the unloading zone and do not stop at the crosswalk unless directed.
• Also, do not drop off students in the parking lot, and do not use the outside lane to go around other cars.
• Do not park in the first in line spots and let your students walk up the sidewalk.
• Students should be ready to exit the vehicle without assistance immediately upon stopping.

Please be patient and avoid using your cell phone while dropping off your child. Lastly, if you arrive past 8:35, please sign your child in at the office.

Anyone picked up before 3:40 pm will be counted as an early dismissal. Afternoon dismissal will begin at 3:40 pm. Please refrain from coming into the office to sign your child out instead of using the carline. We cannot accommodate student sign-out after 3:15 pm. Students are already transitioning towards dismissal and cannot be accessed promptly.

IMPORTANT:

As you round the playground during dismissal, our carline will split into TWO lanes.

🚧 Once in a lane, you cannot switch!

🔄 Left Lane: ALL cars must turn left onto Shute Lane toward Gallatin Road.

➡️ Right Lane: ALL cars must turn right onto Shute Lane toward Cages Bend Road.

👉 This makes our process go much more smoothly and significantly reduces the time it takes to load and move vehicles.

🚸 Please note, there is no crossing guard at the crosswalk from Riverchase to the playground. If your child walks to school, please walk them to the crosswalk for their safety

• ✅ After school, a staff member will escort students across the crosswalk to the Riverchase neighborhood. Please wait for your child at the neighborhood entrance.
• 🏠 Important: It’s your child’s responsibility to walk directly home after dismissal. Once they leave JAE’s campus, the school is no longer responsible for their safety.
• 🚫 Parking Courtesy: Please do not park on side streets during dismissal to avoid the carline. Let's be considerate of our neighbors!
• FOR SAFETY REASONS: Students should only be walking from campus if they live within walking distance.

If your student needs a ONE-TIME bus pass, please send a note to the office with the following details:

1. Full Legal Name of your student
2. Homeroom Teacher and Grade
3. Home Address
4. Address to which your child needs to ride the bus
5. Date for which you are requesting transportation

All permanent bus changes must be submitted to the central office using this link.
