Please follow these noted procedures to ensure the safe and timely arrival and dismissal of all students. The map at the right identifies traffic patterns and arrival/dismissal locations.
ARRIVAL
Students may enter the building at 8:10 AM (9:10 AM on Fridays). The school does not provide supervision before this time, so please do not drop off students earlier.
The locations for arrival are:
-
CAR RIDERS: Main entrance off Michigan Ave.
-
BUS RIDERS: East Circle Drive
-
PRE-K: All arrival and dismissal for pre-k will go through the northwest entrance in the west parking lot off Indiana Ave.
To ensure the safety of all students, please have your child get out on the passenger side of the car. Additionally, we ask that all parents please stay in their cars and use the drop-off lane in the morning.
DISMISSAL
Dismissal changes need to be in by 2:45 each school day. This will ensure adequate time to inform staff and scholars.
-
CAR RIDERS: Car riders will be dismissed from the main entrance. Students will be held in the gym until the pickup car is in the main lane in front of the school. Cars may enter from Michigan Avenue and form two lines in the parking lot drive. We ask that all parents stay in their cars and use the pick-up lane to pick up their child at the end of the day. We will send the children out to your car as you move to the front of the line. You must have a car tag in order to release your children.
It will be a right turn only out to 34th Street to Indiana Avenue. Our PreK car line will be in the West parking lot, parallel to Indiana.
If you need to register for a car tag, or if you have any questions or concerns regarding our dismissal process, please call the school at 785-274-6280, and we'd be happy to assist you.
