Early Childhood Arrival/Dismissal

Arrival Plan for PreK 3 and 4

PreK 3 and 4 school hours are from 8:30 am to 2:30pm. 

Teachers and assistants will be outside to greet the students from 8:30am to 8:40am. 

Cars enter our parking lot from the Harper Avenue driveway and follow toward the Bond Avenue entrance.  

Once in position, the parent/guardian must turn off the car and assist the child/ren out of the car to a waiting teacher or assistant. 

If you arrive prior to 8:30am, and you are in the drop off lane, your child must remain with you in the car until school personnel arrive at your car to greet your child and escort him/her into the school.

No one should leave their child unattended at the doors and return to the car. 
If you are walking your child to school, please remain with your child until a teacher and/or one of our assistants escort him/her into the building
 
 

Dismissal Plan for PreK 3 and 4 

Dismissal will be at 2:30pm. 

At dismissal, parents or caregivers will pull into the school parking lot off of Bond Avenue and drive toward the Harper Avenue doors positioned at the corner of the school.  (Please use one of the 4 lanes closest to the school.)  

Park your car and walk to the designated area where your precious child will be waiting. Please display the sign with your child’s name to the waiting teacher.  

No one leaves the parking lot until directed to do so by school personnel, and that will be when all PreK students are safely in their cars. 

PreK 3 will be dismissed at the Harper Avenue doors, and PreK 4 will be dismissed at the Bond Avenue Doors. 

If a caregiver is late picking up a child (after 2:35 p.m),  report to the office through the main doors of the school to pick up your child.

CARES ("Children Are Receiving Extended Services") is available to all PreK students (Preschool through 8th grade) and is open each day that school is in session.
