SVES Morning Arrival and Afternoon Dismissal

Hello, families! Welcome to the 24-25 school year! Please take the time to review the arrival & dismissal videos linked below that apply to your child's/children's grade level(s). We have made some small changes from last year. You will follow the directions for your youngest SVES student. Our doors open at 7:25 each day.

Morning Arrival/Drop Off: Kinder & 1st Grade

Afternoon Dismissal/Pick Up: Kinder & 1st Grades

Morning Arrival: 2nd, 3rd, 4th, & 5th Grades - No video necessary. These students are dropped off in the front, closest to the curb, pulling up all the way to allow maximum number of cars to drop off at once. Staff will be outside to help.

Afternoon Dismissal/Pick Up: 2nd & 3rd Grades

Afternoon Dismissal/Pick Up: 4th & 5th Grades

Arrival and Dismissal Maps

Other things to remember:

You may not use your cell phone (talking/texting) while in the school zone-- which includes the car line. Using your phone is not only unsafe for students and staff, but also slows down the movement of cars and creates an overall longer dismissal process.
Please have patient. Our staff works hard to smooth out all kinks to make sure that our Panthers make it home safely.
Our staggered dismissal will start at 3:15, and car riders will not exit the building until 3:25.

Please have your car sign clearly visible in the windshield closest to the staff member reading the names. It can be held up for us to read or hanging from your rearview mirror.
If you DO NOT HAVE your car sign, you will be asked to go inside to sign your child out in the office. This procedure is in place for the safety of our students.

Cell Phone Free Learning Environment

SVES will continue to be a phone-free environment. The district is moving to implement a KISD policy aimed at reducing student distractions and minimizing interruptions to the learning environment. To find out more about it, please go view the KellerISD.net/PhoneFree information on the KISD website.
