Student Drop Off/Pick Up
School gates open at 7:50am for all students. Students in Gr. 1-6 enter through the front main gate. Gr. TK/Kinder students enter through the side gate near K2. Please do not drop off students before 7:30am as there is no supervision available. To ensure the safety of children and adults, it is imperative that the following procedures be observed:
-Drop-off/pick-up lane (white zone): There is no parking in this lane, please keep moving forward.
-Continue to pull forward as space becomes available.
-If your child has not come out after 5 minutes for pick up, please drive around the block. We need this lane to keep moving.
-Students may load and unload only from the drop off/pick up lane. No loading in the middle of the street or parking lot.
-For safety purposes, students may only enter and exit the vehicle from the passenger side.
Visitor Parking
Parking is available on the street. The parking lot is reserved for staff only between 7:00am - 3:00pm. There is no drop off/pick up in the parking lot. It is suggested to arrive early as traffic is congested during arrival/dismissal times. Please plan accordingly.
