Drop-Off Procedure After the First Day

From 8:30-8:45 the playground will be supervised. Students may not arrive at school before 8:30.

There will be a teacher on duty in the morning.  Students get off the bus (on 55th) or out of the parent's car (on 54th) and go to the playground - not into the building. The first bell rings at 8:45.  Teachers will meet their students on the playground in the morning - all year long.  Teachers will escort their classes into the classroom at 8:45.  The last/tardy bell rings at 8:50.  By that time, it's expected that students are in their classrooms ready to learn.

If you plan to drop off your child, please travel west on NE 54th and drop your child off in front of the school. If you would like to park and wait on the playground with your child, please find a parking space along one of the nearby residential streets, not in front of the school on NE 54th or NE 55th or the parking lot, which is being reserved for school staff and teachers. Please respect our neighbors and do not block driveways or park in no-parking zones.

Please understand that most days your child's teacher uses the time before school to prepare for the instruction. Teachers will share expectations with you and with students about entering their classroom before school.  Exceptions may be made for students working on ongoing projects or other teacher choices.

Students who are eating breakfast in the cafeteria may always enter the building.

Pick-Up Procedure

After school, all teachers will take bussing and KidsCo students to the appropriate location (TBD). The teachers will then take the kids who are getting picked up by parents to the playground.

Parents can park further down on NE 54th (not in front of the school) or on other surrounding streets, except on NE 55th (Bus Zone). 

If you need to pick up your child early, please check in at the office upon first arriving.

Note: There will be no pick-up line of cars. Parents must park and pick-up the children on the playground.

Thanks for your continued flexibility! And stay tuned -- there may be more improvements to our systems as the weeks unfold.
