Arrival/Dismissal
Arrival
- 7:30 - doors open at the front/main office entrance and the back/gym entrance.
- 7:30-7:45 - all students remain in the gym.
- 7:45 a.m. – Teachers are to arrive at school. Assistants will be on an altered/staggered schedule, depending on the needs of the school.
- 7:45 - students are dismissed from the gym to their classrooms by grade level for Early Start. Students entering the building after 7:45 should go straight to their classrooms.
- We encourage all students to attend Early Start at 7:45. It is a terrific way to start their day. It will give them time to eat breakfast or read AR.
- Due to increased health and safety precautions, parents will not be permitted to escort students to class or eat lunch with students.
- Students not in the classroom by 8:00 are considered delinquent and should report to the office for a tardy slip.
Dismissal
- At 3:00 pm, students who have younger siblings will go to the younger sibling’s room for pick-up.
- Use the front/main and gym entrances of the building (as in previous years) for dismissal.
- Exits from front/main office onto Burgie Street: all 1st, 2nd, and 4th grades, Blevins (5th) and Snodgrass (5th)
- Exits from back/gym onto Happy Valley Street: all Kindergarten and 3rd grade classes + Wandell (5th)
Pick-up and Drop-off Procedures
- All traffic at both drop-off and pick-up on both Burgie Street (front/main office side) and Happy Valley Street (back/gym side) will flow one way, from west to east.
- Car traffic will not be allowed on Dakota Street as Dakota Street during dismissal as it is designated for buses only.
- Please ensure each student's name tag is placed in the front window of the vehicle.
- Parents must leave the tag in place until each child is loaded into the vehicle.
- After car tags have been issued, if a car does not have a tag, cars must pull up and go to the front office to check students out. This is for the safety of your student(s).
- After pick-up, drivers must make a right hand turn onto Hunter Avenue to exit the campus neighborhood.
