Arrival and Departure Procedures:
-We will attempt to be outside as much as possible. If it is 25 degrees or warmer we will be going outside. If there is snow, we will be allowed to play in the snow as long the students follow the "Frosty 5" rules (see below). We do have some extra hats, gloves, coats etc., if you borrow them they must be returned in order to have enough to share. Thanks!
-All buses will drop off and pick up on Main Street. There will be no double parking. No one will be allowed to park in the yellow striped no parking bus zone along Main Street. You may pull up along Leland Street and let your child get out, but do not park and walk them to the door. There will be staff at all doors to help monitor students as they enter the building. Thank you for your continued support.
-Any changes to departure for your student, please contact the office by 12:00PM, or we will follow the previously arranged departure plan listed in Teacherease. Thank you.
-Between the hours of 8:00AM and 9:00AM we are asking that you stay behind the fences after drop off. Unless you are in need of visiting the office, remain behind the fence. There is no supervision on the playground until 8:05 AM. Children may come in for breakfast at 7:50AM. If you are not eating breakfast drop off starts at 8:05AM.
-At pick up, between the hours of 2:00pm-3:00pm please stay back behind the fences, this allows for teachers to clearly see who is picking up their students.
-If your child's transportation should need to change in anyway, please send a note with your child or message your child's teacher on Class Dojo before 12PM.
