Arrival and dismissal
As a reminder, here are the arrival/dismissal protocols/procedures:
Arrival
1. If you are dropping off your child(ren), please do so between 8:15 and 8:30. We will not have supervision out on the playground prior to 8:15. In trying to keep everyone safe and socially distant from each other, we cannot have our students on the playground prior to school beginning.
2. We will have two areas for drop off:
- Front circle drive on Troy Street- last names beginning from A-L. Children will exit on the passenger side of the car. No parking of vehicles in this area.
- Cul-de-Sac on Carl Street - last names beginning from M-Z. Children will exit on the passenger side of vehicles. Please do not park in this area as we need to keep the traffic flowing.
- West to East Driveway from Carl to Henry Streets - last names beginning from M-Z. Children are to exit vehicles on the drivers side. Please do not park in this area as we need to keep the traffic flowing.
3. Again, please remain in your cars when dropping off your child(ren.) There will be staff members at each location, and additional staff members helping with walking students into the building. In addition, there will be staff members in the building helping students find their classrooms.
4. Bus drop off will be consistent from previous years. If your child is riding the bus, you should have received a letter in the mail with approximate times.
Dismissal
1. Children in grades K-2 will receive a tag on the first day of school that communicates to our staff if they are walking, riding a bus, or being dropped off. On that tag, bus #s will be given, in addition to which area children will be picked-up. This will help our staff in making sure our students get to the correct location.
2. Children riding buses will load buses in a similar fashion as last year.
3. Children being picked up will follow the same protocol as arrival.
4. We will have two areas for pick-up (similar to drop off)
- Front circle drive on Troy Street- last names beginning from A-L. Children will be loaded on the passenger side of the car. No parking of vehicles in this area.
- Cul-de-Sac on Carl Street - last names beginning from M-Z. Children will be loading on the passenger side of vehicles. Please do not park in this area as we need to keep the traffic flowing.
- West to East Driveway from Carl to Henry Streets - last names beginning from M-Z. Children are to enter vehicles on the drivers side. Please do not park in this area as we need to keep the traffic flowing.
5. Please remain in your cars when picking up your child(ren.) There will be staff members at each location, and additional staff members helping with walking students to cars.
4K parents:
Please use the south parking lot (by the tennis courts to drop off and pick up your children.) You may park here and walk your children to door 6 in the morning, and door 1 in the afternoon. Please refrain from parking in the north parking lot and the bus loading zone.

Students returning Virtual
For those families who committed to remaining virtual, please note the following:
- You should have been notified of your child's teacher
- Students are expected to be signed in and begin the virtual school day at 8:30 AM.
- Attendance will be taken each day (Monday - Friday) between 8:30 - 10:00 AM by your child's virtual teacher.
- If a child does not appear virtually during this time period, they will be marked absent. If a child is marked absent, a communication will be sent from the school office to the parent/guardian to confirm when the student will access content and complete learning.
- If communication is received from the parent/guardian, the child will be marked present.
- If no communication is received from the parent/guardian, the child will be marked absent.
- Daily schedules will look very similar to the current virtual instruction.
