Arrival
School begins at 8:40 am with our tardy bell ringing at 8:45am.
All students who walk or are brought to school should enter through the gate on Zion St. Parents are asked to drop students at the gate and not enter the playground area.
The gate closes at 8:40 am. When the first bell rings, students who arrive late should then enter through the main entrance.
Traffic barriers and staff will be in place to limit traffic in the parking lot for both arrival and dismissal times.
The bus loop is for busses only. Please do not park or drive through the bus loop at any time.
Afternoon Pick-up Procedure
Please notify the office of any changes in your student’s dismissal plan before 2:45pm.
Students are dismissed at 3:00 pm with instruction continuing until the bell. In order to maximize instructional time and maintain an orderly school environment and safe dismissal, no student may be checked out of the office between 2:45 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. unless it is an emergency or due to an appointment.
The front entrance is for bus rider dismissal only at 3:00 p.m. Parents are not permitted to pick up their child from the main entrance, only from Zion Street.
Our bus drivers have limited visibility and cannot see when students or parents are crossing between the busses. Thus, it is strictly forbidden to cross between the busses due to the safety concerns.
Traffic barriers and staff will be in place to limit traffic in the parking lot for both arrival and dismissal times.
Parking Drop off and Pick Up
We are expecting all parents and drivers to respect and abide by traffic laws. We will be enlisting the help of law enforcement throughout the year.
