Pick-up and Drop off Procedures: When dropping your child off at school please proceed up the driveway near the Tennis Courts and get into the car line. Children will be dropped off in the Staff supervised loop area and proceed to class. Doors will open at 8:45am and close at 8:55am. If there is no staff outside, that means the doors are locked. You must park and walk your child in through the front doors and proceed to the front office. For afternoon pick up you’ll proceed to the same area as drop off. Each car should have a sign in the front window with their last name. Name signs can be picked up in the Front Office. Please call the Office to let them know you need a name sign.
