Morning Dropoff Policy

Please follow the following procedures to help start school days off smoothly and safely. For the safety of all, please be patient.

School doors open at 7:35 am. However, the back entrance opens at 7:20 am for students who eat breakfast and for early arrivers who may stay in the gym until classrooms open at 7:35 am.
The tardy bell rings and classroom instruction begins at 7:40 am. Students are tardy if they are not in their seats at 7:40 am.
The back entrance closes at 7:50 am. Students arriving late should use the main entrance buzzer.

Cars may not park alongside of the school (on the north side of Park Place or east side of Berkeley Place) between 7:00 and 9:00 am.
Cars may not park alongside the parking lot fence at any time.
Students must exit from the passenger side at the curb and must never be dropped off in the street or in the middle of the parking lot.
Tips for Ensuring the Carpool Line Runs Smoothly:
- Be ready before you arrive. Make sure kids have backpacks and jackets in hand and are fully ready to exit the car before you pull up to the drop-off zone.
- Pull forward all the way. Help keep the line moving smoothly by pulling forward to the furthest available spot in the drop and go zone.
- Drivers should remain in the car. If your child needs help getting out, please park and walk instead.
- If your child cannot unbuckle and exit the car on their own, the carpool line is not an option. Please park and walk for a quicker and safer dropoff.

Families that walk or wish to park and walk may park on the south side of Park Place, the west side of Berkeley Place or on nearby streets. Do not block driveways.
All pedestrians must use a defined crosswalk to cross the street.
No pets are permitted on campus during dropoff or dismissal in consideration of those who are allergic or fearful and due to overall unpredictability.
Parents may walk children to class but must leave promptly so the school day can begin.
