Arrivals and Dismissals

Arrivals

All students will be entering the building at 8:30 AM. Once inside, students will be seated in their assigned area in their classroom. When all students have arrived, they will move in groups of 4-5 to put materials and belongings in their lockers.

Students arriving in a Parent Vehicle, Walking or on a Bike
Students in kindergarten and first grade will enter their classrooms through the exterior doors to their classroom. Classroom assistants and/or teachers will be outside the doors waiting for students to arrive. Students in second grade will enter through the main entrance, and students in grades 3-5 will enter through one of the three doors off the playground areas. Adults will be supervising each of the playground door areas to guide students and enforce social distancing expectations.

Cell Phones
Cell phone use is prohibited by law while driving in school zones. Do not use your cell phone while in the school building or during field trip, and turn off the ringer while in school. The phone can be a distraction to our students and the teaching environment

Students arriving by Bus
Students arriving by bus before 8:30 will be dropped off on the west end of the front parking lot. Supervisors will walk them to the building along the sidewalk and guide them to their appropriate entrance. Buses that arrive after 8:30 will drop off students at the main entrance, and supervisors will help get children to their classrooms.

Late Arrivals
In past years, we required parents to come into the building and sign in tardy students. Like last year, we are again asking parents to call the office, and a staff member will let your child in. The tardy bell will ring at 8:35, but we will relax this time for the first several weeks of school.

Dismissals

Students Being Picked Up by a Parent in a Vehicle, Walking or Riding a Bike
Students will be dismissed at 3:30pm. Parents in vehicles should follow pick up procedures similar to prior years, entering the parking lot from the east, along Walters Avenue. Please do not enter from the west, as you will not be able to make a left turn into the parking lot. Also, parents/guardians will not be allowed to park in the lot to pick children up. You must remain in your car, in line along the curb, and we will bring your children to your vehicle. Children will load on the passenger side of the vehicle. Having everyone follow these guidelines helps the traffic move more swiftly and keep all children safe. Please have your bright name card displayed where our supervisors can see it. We will send these cards home on the first day of school.

3:23 - 3:28 PM - Buses load
3:28 - 3:29 PM - Buses depart
3:30 PM - All other students are dismissed

If you need to change your child's dismissal plan on any given day, this must be communicated to the school office by 1:00. The only exception would be a family emergency.

Pick-up Traffic
Show consideration for our neighbors who live near Meadowbrook. While waiting in your vehicle on Walters Avenue for afternoon pick-up, do not block driveways so residents there can enter and exit their homes easily.
