HWE Drop-Off and Pick-Up Procedures

These procedures will apply to any time a family needs to use a method different from their normal routine to drop-off and/or pick-up a student from Hickory Woods. This applies directly any week when a bus route has been canceled by the WLCSD Transportation Department.

Car Drop-Off

Many students are being dropped off by car each morning. It is VERY important that parents/guardians carefully read the following information to ensure a safe and efficient drop-off process.

Car drop-off will begin at the first bell - 8:50 am.
Please drop off at the back of the building - Door 18.

-OR-

In the front parking lot with the assistance of HWE staff members.
DO NOT drop your child off early. Before school congregation is not permitted and supervision will not be available.
Children can be dropped off anywhere along the curb by the drop off doors (marked with a red stars ** on the map).
If your child is able, please DO NOT wait until you get right to the door to let your child exit. This causes delays for everyone. Drop-off may occur at any safe distance to the door as long as your child can use the sidewalk to get to the door to enter.
Children must exit their car on the driver's side. They must exit on their own.
Parents must stay in their car during drop off.
Staff will monitor the drop-off line and there will be plenty of staff to help your child (both outside the building and in the halls as they find their classroom).
Students must wear a mask during this transition.
Students will go immediately to their classrooms.
Please Note: Parents/caregivers will NOT be allowed to enter the building or walk their child to their classroom. Our staff will be there to help and we’ll take good care of them!

Hawk Pick Up

Parents will park and come to the front door.
Many families who regularly use the Hawk Pick Up will have a sign that they turn into a basket. Staff members then take those signs inside and dismiss those students to their families.
Families who do NOT have a Hawk Pick Up sign will use the BLUE SIGN-OUT sheet located right next to the basket where families turn in their signs. Staff members will use those sheets to dismiss students to their families.
Hawk pick-up will begin at 3:45 p.m.
We have found that the parking lot is busiest from 3:35 - 3:55. If your schedule allows, you can plan to arrive at HWE at or after 3:55 and contend with much less traffic. Our staff is prepared to monitor our pick-up process through 4:05.
