Parent drop-off and pick-up

We need your help to keep students safe in the mornings and afternoons. The front parking lot is reserved for buses in the morning and after school. When parents and students walk between the buses, they risk being hit. The west side lot is where parents should drop off and pick up students. We have these areas staffed and we have walking and waiting areas that keep kids away from moving cars. Here are some reminders and clarifications that will help with student safety.

CHANGING HOW A STUDENT GETS HOME

Please call the main office before 3:00 pm (2 pm on Mondays) to change the typical way your student gets home. It is important that we know how each student gets home, and our office staff needs time to track changes and get notes to students. If you contact the school after 3:00, our staff will try to get the message to your student, but we cannot assure it.

MORNING DROP OFF

Student drop-off is in the west parking lot only. Do not use the front parking lot or the shoulder on the street to drop students off in the morning. We do not want cars in the way of buses, and we do not want students walking or running through the parking lot.

AFTERNOON PICK UP

Just like in the morning, parent pick-up is in the west parking lot only. Do not park in the front lot or on Crescent Harbor Road, as it blocks visibility for people leaving the parking lot and sets students up to walk through the parking lot with buses driving through.

SAFETY FIRST

I recognize that these rules can be inconvenient. Student safety is our first priority, though, and keeping students safe sometimes means taking an extra minute at check out, waiting a bit longer in a line, or planning ahead to notify the school. 

Sincerely,

Bill Weinsheimer
