Arrival and Dismissal

Please remember that students are not supervised before 8:05 am. Please do not drop your children off before the 8:05 time, or allow them to arrive at the school before this time.

For our Car Riders:

• Please have your child seated on the right side of the car so they do not have to exit the car on the driver's side. It is important to have your child exit and enter the car via the passenger side along our front sidewalk.
• All parents should stay in the cars as students are exiting the car. We have staff to help open doors for your students if needed.
• Please work with your younger children to help them learn how to buckle and unbuckle themselves. Building independence is good practice.
• Please have your child have all their belongings ready to go when the car stops (book bag, lunch box, water bottle, etc).

For our Walkers and Bike Riders:

• Please ensure that students are not arriving at the main crosswalk until after 8:05 am. There are no staff on duty outside prior to 8:05 am,
• Please talk to the children about crossing streets only when necessary and only at appropriate corners. It would be good to walk the route with your child to ensure they know the safest way to school.
• If your child is not a walker or bike rider, they should be using the bus service or being dropped off via our front car rider line. Please do not drop them off on Peine Road or the subdivisions across from the school.

Thank you for your attention to all of these reminders. Our goal is to keep our kids safe!

We are not allowing any edible treats to be brought in for birthdays. Students may bring in a non-edible item for their birthday. Please check with your child’s teacher so everyone in the class receives one.

Changes to your child’s dismissal/transportation plans need to be communicated to the

teacher AND the main office. If you need to make an occasional transportation change (car rider instead of the bus, etc.) you must send a note to your child’s teacher. If that is not possible, you may call the office on the day of the change before 2:00 p.m., so the office staff has adequate time to notify your child’s teacher. You must provide a note or call each day that you want your child to go home in a different manner than usual.

Once the sign on the front drive is turned to tell you that you have arrived late, you will need to walk your child into the main office. Please do not have your student exit the car and walk in by themselves. A parent will need to walk the student in and sign them into school.

Yes, we allow you to walk your student down on the first day of school. You will need to park in the front lot. There is no entry before 8:05 a.m. You will need to be out of the building by the 8:25 tardy bell. This is limited to the first few days of school only and really only recommended for Kindergarten and new to Peine Students.
