Drop off and Pick Up

Arrival Procedures


  • Doors open for students at 7:35 a.m. daily.  Anyone arriving after 7:50 a.m., will need to buzz and come into the main office to sign in.

  • Cars will enter the parking lot off Duluth Street (right turn only) and follow the curve to drop off students. Please pull up as far as you can and drop all your students off at one timeHave your children ready with their backpacks, lunch money, hugs and kisses, so that when you stop they may exit the car quickly, and we can keep the drop off line moving. The line can become backed up onto Duluth Street very quickly which causes safety issues for our parents, as well as other drivers.

  • ****Please do not be idle or park in the drop-off lane. Parents, please stay in your car. If you want to walk your child up to the doors, feel free to park in a spot to do so.

  • Please drop off curbside only. Avoid dropping children off where they have to cross the street, this is extremely dangerous. It will be your responsibility to cross them if you choose to do this.

  • Please be mindful of other drivers and walkers. We know many of you have to get to work, and we want all children to be able to enter the building safely and on time.

  • Doors C and B will be utilized for entrance as usual.

  • 5th graders and Mrs. Torres's class will use Door G.
