Arrival Procedures for the 2025-2026 school year
Upon entering the building, all students, regardless of grade, will be ushered to the gym to sit in their class line. If students need to purchase breakfast, they can do so in the cafeteria during this time. At 8:55, we will begin dismissing classes from the gym, with their teacher. If students are still in the cafeteria eating, they will be sent to class to finish their food. If a student arrives after 8:55am, and they would like to purchase breakfast, they will report to the cafeteria, pick up their breakfast, and eat in their classroom.

Bus Students: These students are dropped off at our side door and enter the building at 8:45. They will walk directly into our gym and sit in the line designated for their teacher. If they are in need of breakfast, they will report to the cafeteria at this time.

Grade 2-5 Drop Offs/Walkers: These students will be dropped off to the front doors of the building. Cars should line up down Salem Drive while waiting. Doors will open at 8:45, and students will be directed to the gym, where they will sit in the line designated for their teacher.

Grade K-1 Drop Offs: These students will be dropped off at the recess doors near the playground (Barrett Ave). Students will be sent into our gym. Here, they will sit in the line designated for their teacher.

Dismissal Procedures
Bus Students: Bus students in grade K-2 will be walked down to the gym. They will sit on one of the four white lines, depending on their bus number. As we receive confirmation that the bus has arrived, we will send out the K-2 students. Bus students in grade 3-5 will walk down to the bus door when their bus is called. This will continue until all buses are called.  Students in grade K-2 who take the bus will receive a bus pass to tie onto their backpack.  We will use these passes for the first couple months of school.

Grade 2-5 Pick up: After all of the buses are called, “parent pick-ups” will be notified over the loud speaker. The remaining students will walk down to the main entrance with their teacher. Cars will line up using Salem Drive. Teachers will wait in front of the school with students. As the car arrives at the front of the line, we will dismiss the child.

Grade K-1 Pick-up: After all of the buses are called, “parent pick-ups” will be notified over the loud speaker. These students will utilize the side door by Barrett Ave for dismissal. Parents should line up here. If there are older siblings for pick-up, they should report to the K-1 hallway for pick-up.
