Arrival & Dismissal Procedures

ARRIVAL PROCEDURES
CAR DROP OFF PROCEDURES
Stop, Drop, and Roll:  You need to stop your car, drop off your children, then roll.  Teachers will be available to assist.  Please do not get out of your car.  If you have a child who needs help, the teacher on duty will assist.

WALKERS:  Students are to arrive between 7:50 and 8:00 AM and enter the building via the gym doors.

BUSES
Bus schedules are determined by individual school districts. Upon arrival students are to report directly to the cafeteria.   It is expected that our students who ride the buses behave in a manner which reflects favorably on themselves, their families and St. Bernadette School.  Failure to do so may result in the suspension of the bus riding privilege.

Note: Students shall not be dropped off at school to enter the building prior to the times published above as there is no scheduled supervision. The C.A.R.E.S program is designed for childcare before school hours. Parents must make prior arrangements to register the student in C.A.R.E.S. 

DISMISAL PROCEDURES
CAR AFTERNOON PICK-UP TRAFFIC PROCEDURES
*No students will be dismissed by car unless the car has pulled into the parking lot.  Cars must enter from Harper Avenue and park in rows.  Cars will be dismissed by teachers on duty one row at a time.   Those parents/guardians entrusted with picking up our children must come and get the child/children and escort them back to the car. Our children are precious. Each of us must work together to ensure their safety.

WALKERS:   Students are dismissed out the Bond Avenue doors.
