To help the dismissal run smoothly and safely, we’ve made an important update to our pick-up procedures for kindergarten students. Please remember that the official dismissal time is 2:40 pm.
🚸 1st–5th Grade Dismissal:
- Bus riders – Escorted to buses right after school.
- YMCA/daycare – Escorted to YMCA or library to wait for daycare vans.
- Walkers/bikers – Use Door 2 (main door on the south side).
- Meet-ups with parents/guardians – Gather by the 2 trees outside of Door 2.
- This includes all learns that want to meet up with their guardians to walk home, bike, or walk with them back to their parked vehicle.
- Pick-Up Loop – Same procedure as last year:
- Line up with teacher along Pick-Up Loop.
- Parents/guardians line up along 54th St. S.
- Use your window sign (available at Back to School Night).
- Stay in the vehicle; students enter on passenger side.
- Once loaded, pull into left lane and exit loop.
- Please have learners enter the vehicle on the passenger side away from other vehicles that may be leaving the loop.
🆕 Kindergarten Pick-Up – New Location in the Bus Loop
To ease traffic congestion, kindergarten pick-up will now be in the bus loop (south side, outside Door 2) after buses leave.
How it works:
- Approach from 50th St. S and enter the bus loop via the southeast entrance off 38th St.
- Park behind the buses and wait in your vehicle until all buses depart.
- Once buses have cleared, your child will be released to your car.
- Please pull as far forward in the loop as possible.
- Please have learners enter the vehicle on the passenger side away from other vehicles that may be leaving the loop.
- Exit left onto 38th Ave. S (do not turn right into Pick-Up Loop traffic).
- Use 51st St. S or continue on 50th St. S to leave the area.
Older siblings will check out with their teacher and join their youngest sibling in the kindergarten pick-up area (Bus Loop).
