2024-25 UPDATED

Drop Off:

Students must be dropped off between 7:55 and 8:09 (8:09am is the absolute latest as classes enter at 8:10am and doors lock after that).

Drop off prior to 7:55 is not permitted and not safe due to local wildlife. Always wait till an employee of the school is outside to supervise before leaving children in the north field.

Weather permitting, students will play on the field prior to entering at 8:10 AM sharp. Students line up by grade on the south of the field just before entering the school. Bus students will disembark just next to the field and line up with their classes shortly before 8:10am.

If you are planning on parking, please park on 78th Ave (preferably the south side to avoid crossing the street) or anywhere else on the nearby streets where parking is permitted. DO NOT PARK IN THE EAST OR WEST LOT OF THE SCHOOL. THIS WILL BLOCK BUSSES. Students will enter the building with staff members via various entrances but all line up on the field by 8:09am.

If you want to make the drop off line, all drop off traffic must enter from 76th Ave to the south and exit on 78th Ave. Do not block traffic on 76th Ave. It is better to park in case the drop off line is too long. Due to traffic patterns, it is recommended that drivers turn left when exiting the drop off line onto 78th Ave.

Parents should drop and go when making the drop off line starting at 7:55am. Drivers should not exit their cars unless absolutely necessary.

Also, please be conscious of the trains that travel nearby and how that may lead to some delays.

Pickup:

Starting Monday 18 November 

There are three options for parent pick up from 3:15 to 3:35.

1.    Children in grades five and above along with their younger siblings can walk off campus on their own and meet parents in the area. Some examples are:

           - meet on 78th Ave,

           - meet on 39th St. (there is a sidewalk on 76th Ave. that connects to 39th St.),

           - meet at a nearby business like a coffee shop.

2.    Come on foot to pick up your child from the northwest corner of our property (on the western side of the west parking lot) where children will be waiting with supervisors.

3.    Come through the pickup line through our west lot.

For the pickup line through our west lot, please be mindful of the following procedures so we all have a smooth, safe pickup:

·      Pull up as far as you can.

·      The left lane is the pickup lane, and the center lane is the passing lane.

·      Display your child’s name on a piece of paper on the front driver side dash.

·      Load your car as quickly as you can.

·      Follow all directions from staff in charge of traffic.

·      Never block 76th Ave. when you are coming in to make the line.

·      No parking in the lanes during pickup times.

Let your children know if you’ll be meeting them off campus (allowed for grades 5 and above).  They should tell their teachers at the end of the day, and if they are going to retrieve siblings in grades K-4, they should meet them at the pickup area in the northwest corner of our property. 

DO NOT PARK IN THE EAST OR WEST LOT OF THE SCHOOL AT PICKUP OR DROP OFF. THIS CAN BLOCK THE BUSSES.

During pickup, please do not walk through our field as a shortcut.
