FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL: WALKING YOUR CHILD TO CLASS
The first day of school is an opportunity to practice patience and kindness. Getting 500 students in the building with families is going to take time. There will be no tardies for the first few days of school so please practice getting routines going to help with when the 7:30am start is a hard deadline! :). We know that the first day of school that families often like to walk their child to class. Capturing those moments are important so we've made sure there are photo opportunities at Open House!
- On the morning of the first day ONLY, families may opt to park in the visitor parking lot (BLUE LOT)
- All adults MUST come in through the FRONT door!
CAMPUS ARRIVAL AND DISMISSAL MAP
ARRIVAL
ARRIVAL AT 7:10AM
Children are excited to come to school, and Hisle opens at 7:10am. We ask that families do NOT drop children off prior to 7:10am due to NO ADULT supervision. There is no parking on campus during this time to ensure that staff are able to park and be available to support children. We encourage families to use the same dismissal area for arrival.
CAR LINES
- Remember: we have a ONE WAY LOOP from 7:00-7:30am and 2:30-3:00pm
- All cars should enter after passing the campus on your right on Adaptable Lane.
- Have your child READY to exit the car.
- Backpack on, seat or booster unbuckled, and path clear of items. Remove trash, bags, or anything in the floorboards!

DISMISSAL
School Dismissal Manager
We're excited to use an online system to track how each child leaves the campus. You will receive an email to set up your account once the campus goes "live". THIS SHOULD HAPPEN BY MONDAY, AUGUST 12th!
The email will contain
- Instructions on how to login with a user name and temporary password.
- You will read through the dismissal areas to choose your child's dismissal each day.
- Remember, if you drive a car to pick up your child, please choose the appropriate car lane.
- We will have a "booth" to pick up a RED or GREEN Card to display in your window the first day of school.
LOOK FOR AN EMAIL BY MONDAY, AUGUST 12th! We will send a remind once we are LIVE!
Points to REMEMBER!
We will utilize two car lanes!
Keep your RED/GREEN card in your car (even if you are not a car rider)
Each child will have a "colored" bracelet to attach to the top loop of their backpack. Early Childhood-1st grade will have a plastic ID tag too!
