Arrival

• Car riders should remain in the car until 7:30 am when staff are present in the car loop.
• Parents and caregivers have to drop their children off at the school doors after the first day of school.

Dismissal

• All changes in transportation need to happen by 2:00 pm. Any request for transportation change after 2:00 pm will not be permitted. This policy is to ensure the safety of all students by minimizing confusion at the end of the day.
• All requests for transportation change need to be made through the office by sending in a note with the student, calling the main office at (804)228-5310, or emailing Mrs. Schoolfield at sschoolf@rvaschools.net or Mrs. Hull at gfreeman@rvaschools.net. Teachers cannot change a child's mode of transportation, so please do not request a change through ClassDojo or email with the teacher directly.
• There is no student pick-up from the front office after 2:00 pm. On school days, the front loop is for School Buses and Daycare vans only between 2:00 and 3:00 pm.
• The car pick-up line extends north on Monticello, the opposite direction of Laburnum. Any car driving north on Monticello from Laburnum to enter the car line will need to get in the back of the line.
• Please do not park on Monticello Street during dismissal time (2:30 pm -3:00 pm).
• Walkers will need to be signed out by an adult on their approved pickup list unless they are an independent walker. Independent walkers are students who are allowed to walk home alone. A signed note should be submitted to the office if your child is allowed to walk home alone.
