2010-11 CAR LINE, BUS & PARKING LOT PROCEDURES

 

BUS RIDERS…The most efficient and quickest way to get your child to school (because we have over 120 cars in the car line.)

 

r     Please have your child ride the bus the first day of school. We will have bag tags to fasten to their book bags to indicate their bus number.)

 

r     If your child is riding a different bus home please have a note for your child’s teacher. The administrative staff will go to each class to assure that each child knows his/her bus number. We want our students to get to and from school safely. Please remember to have a responsible adult at the bus stop WITH your child for morning AND afternoon pickup. 

 

r     If some reason your child cannot ride the school bus. We do have car line procedures (listed below.)  We ask that ALL of our families practice these procedures; we have not had anyone hurt and want to ensure our students’ safety.

 

CAR RIDERS… For your child's safety and a safe ride to and from school, the following carline and parking lot procedures will be in place ALL YEAR LONG.  Please review them with your children.

 

r     The school parking lot is NOT to be used for student drop off and pick up. We do not want the students or parents walking on the street where there is heavy traffic from the busses and car line.

r     ALL parents are directed to get in the car line for both pick-up and drop-off. We will have staff and a student to assure that your child(ren) goes to the correct classroom. First grade parents…it will be alright; we promise!

r     All cars will be directed to wait in the car line. 

r     If you are coming to school to VOLUNTEER…please drop your student off IN THE CAR LINE and then you may go park and walk in. 

r     If you are coming to school to CHAPERONE a field trip… please drop your student off IN THE CAR LINE and then you may go park and walk in.

We are looking forward to seeing all of our students back to school. We truly appreciate your assistance in keeping our students safe.
