Morning Drop-Off:<\/h3>\n

Please plan for your child(ren) to arrive by 7:45 AM each day, and remember to allow time for your child(ren) to walk to classrooms by 7:45 AM. Students who are not in their class at 7:45 will be marked tardy by the teacher. Morning drop-off procedures are as follows:
\u25cf Morning drop off time is officially from 7:15 AM to 7:45 AM. Car riders beginning arrival time will be at 7:15 to stagger between the bus riders and car riders arriving. Third, fourth and fifth students should be dropped off in the back bus loop. All Pre-K, Kindergarten, first and second grade students should be dropped off in the front. If there is not an adult or Safety Patrol out during morning drop off you must report to the front of the building, park your car and walk your student into the building. Thank you for helping us keep your child safe.
\u25cf Opening car doors is a courtesy we try to offer, but once you are in the drop off zone please allow your students to open up the door and get out.
\u25cf When using the front entrance, you must drive all the way up to the side walk to drop your student off. Please do not let your student out before you reach the white line on the sidewalk. Students should not be dropped off anywhere else in the parking lot.
\u25cf When using the back bus loop please enter the drop-off zone by veering right towards Veterans and continue around the loop toward NCES. Cars will maintain one lane of traffic. Only the right lane will be used for student drop-off. This area will be marked by orange cones. All parent vehicles should stay within the coned lane. All students will exit the cars and enter the building via the Blue House at the end of the walkway.
\u25cf Buses and daycare vans will have first priority in the bus loop\/drop off area. They will be the only vehicles allowed to go into the left lane for student drop off. If you are behind a bus\/day care van you must allow them to completely unload their students before traffic can resume.
\u25cf At 7:45 AM the front and back doors will be closed and locked. Students and parents are asked to NOT knock on the back doors to gain entrance. Faculty and staff members have been advised to NOT open back doors after the back car rider\u2019s lane has closed. As a reminder, once there is no staff to receive students outside, parents must enter at the front of the building by ringing the doorbell by the front entrance and make a tardy pass for their student(s).
\u25cf Students are tardy at 7:45 AM and must be escorted into the front office by an adult via the front door of the building. Parents will enter the office and print out a tardy pass for their student. Students are not allowed to use the kiosk to get a tardy pass.
\u25cf Parents will not be allowed to enter the building via the back door (at any time).
\u25cf All parents wishing to come into the building must use the front entrance. Parents must park in the front parking lot and walk their children into the building. Please have your driver’s license with you in case we need to sign you in.<\/p>\n
