Remember, we have 100 additional students; please be curious and patient.
Important Traffic and Parking Guidelines
Before and After School Traffic:
Traffic can be very heavy during drop-off and pick-up times. Please teach and encourage your child to always use the crosswalk and to be vigilant in watching for traffic from all directions.
Parking Lot Capacity:
Our parking lot has limited capacity. Please note that daycare vehicles and District 11 vehicles have designated drop-off and pick-up spaces. Spaces that are painted belong to Freedom staff, please do not park in those spaces.
Bus Pick-Up and Drop-Off:
All buses will pick up and drop off students in the Freedom parking lot.
Reminder:
Please remember that these are your friends and neighbors, and all of you have children attending our school. We ask that you be patient and extend courtesy to one another as you enter and exit the parking lot or pick up your children. Please drive slowly in and around the school.
Parking Lot Exit:
Please note that exiting the school parking lot is RIGHT TURN ONLY.
Kiss-N-Go Lane:
The "Kiss-N-Go" lane is designated for drop-off and pick-up only. This lane should not be used as a parking spot. Please ensure that students exit the vehicle from the right side, away from traffic. DO NOT park your vehicle in this lane.
Dismissal Information:
All students will be dismissed at 2:50 PM. We encourage parents to pre-plan a pick-up location. Students will have dismissal cards and must turn in their card to the adult on duty.
Kiss-N-Go and Bus Pick-Up/Drop-Off:
- Kiss-N-Go: Located on Butterfield Drive in the street cut-out. To access, please enter Butterfield Drive from Range Ranch and pull to the end of the cut-out.
- Parent Pick Up: Located in the GYM. Parents will enter through the gym doors and wait behind the grade-level cone. Students will enter the gym and line up as well. Once they see their parent they can greet each, other and then hand their card to the adult then exit the gym door.
- Bus Pick-Up/Drop-Off: Located in the loop directly in front of the school.
Parking and Walking Your Child to the Entrance:
- Enter the Freedom parking lot from Butterfield Drive.
- Use the left lane to enter the Family Parking Lot (formerly the staff parking lot).
- Park your vehicle and escort your student to the crosswalk leading to the front doors. Your student will enter through the front double doors.
Preschool and Kindergarten Parking:
- Enter the Freedom parking lot from Butterfield Drive.
- Use the left lane and enter the Family Parking Lot.
- Park your vehicle and escort your student(s) to the crosswalk leading to the preschool door.
Late Pick-Ups:
If you cannot pick up your student within 10 minutes of dismissal, please arrange for a family member or daycare provider to do so. While we understand that delays happen, late pick-ups interfere with scheduled meetings, training, and our ability to use resources effectively. Please note that Freedom staff cannot supervise siblings of students involved in after-school activities, such as tutoring, athletics, or clubs. It is the responsibility of the families to ensure that students not participating in after-school activities are picked up promptly.
