Drop-off and Pick-Up

We love welcoming our little friends to school each morning! Below you will find what our drop-off and pick-up looks like each day.

For the first week of school, we offer a staggered start each morning so parents are able to walk their child to class. We do not have enough parking spaces for every parent to arrive at the same time so it is very important that you follow your child's assigned time. 

Kindergarten students may be walked in between 8:55am to 9:05am

Four Year Old students may be walked in between 9:05am and 9:15am

Three Year Old students may be walked in between 9:15am and 9:25am

Two Year Old students may be walked in between 9:25am and 9:35am

If you have children in multiple classes, please arrive at your youngest child's assigned time.

Starting week two, we do not allow morning walk in. All students must be dropped off in our morning drop-off line outside. Cars enter our drop-off line on the right side of our building and circle around the back of the building. Cones, signs, and staff members will direct you where to go. Drop-off line starts at 9am. Teachers come to your car for you to hand your child off and the teachers walk them to class. Again, we do not have enough parking spaces for all parents to park, and it creates a dangerous situation, so all students must utilize the morning drop-off line. 

In the afternoons, we offer walk-ins every day starting at 12:30pm. Every parent will need to exit the parking lot by 12:45pm for us to begin pick-up line. If you arrive after 12:40, you will not be permitted to walk-in and will need to get in the pick-up line. Because of our limited parking, we ask all families to utilize pick-up line some days so every family has an opportunity to walk-in. Again, all cars need to exit our parking lot by 12:45pm in order for us to start pick-up line on time. 
Pick-up line is from 12:45pm to 1pm each day. Our drop-off/pick-up line wraps around the building and then splits into two lines in our parking lot. You can get in either line, regardless of which direction you are exiting the parking lot. Please do not leave large spaces between you and the car in front of you. Our staff will hand your child off to you for you to buckle. Our staff are not permitted to buckle any child. All cars will need to stay in park until you are directed out of the parking lot by our staff. All students must be picked up by 1pm. 
We like to keep afternoon walk-ins/pick-up line flexible so you can do whatever works best for you each day, but if we have too many families walking-in each day, causing traffic issues in our parking lot, we will need to assign walk-in days for each class. This has not been an issue as many of our families choose pick-up line, but we will keep everyone posted if any changes need to be made. 

Our number one priority during drop-off and pick-up is keeping our students safe. Please be patient and wait to move your car until you are instructed to do so. Also, please have your ID handy as you may be asked for it on several occasions until our staff know all the new faces. Thanks for your help with making the process smooth for everyone!!
