Y5/K Arrival/Drop-off Procedures
- Y5/K teachers will meet students outside on the playground in the morning. As students get more comfortable with the routine, they will be taught to enter the building at the bell with students in grades 1 - 5.
- At dismissal, Y5/K teachers will walk students to the back of the school by the overhang at 3:40. This allows us to help our littlest learners get to their families without the congestion of other grades.
- Teachers will not dismiss Y5/K students without seeing the parent/guardian
- Staff will be on duty in the morning to help Y5/K bus students get to the playground or to class.
- Assigned 5th-grade students and a teacher will help our Y5/K bus riders get to the correct bus at the end of the day.
Arrival/Drop-off Procedures
Front of School
- Parking is available in the angled parking on Orchard (in front of the playground) or across the street on Sunset. The crossing guard will cross students if you park on Sunset.
- The bus area is for buses only.
- The parking lot in the front of the school is not a drop-off lot. This location is reserved for visitors entering the building.
- Do not park in the "Reserved for Ampersee Family" spot as that is reserved for a student that requires wheelchair access.

Back of School
- Vehicles may enter Coles Ave. to drop off. Please pull down to the end of the street or until the line stops. Students should exit on the right side of the vehicle and enter the fenced-in playground through the large gate at the end of the street. Once your student has exited the vehicle, you may enter the lane to the left to proceed around the turn to Bryan.
- Please note that this is not a parking lane. Cars are expected to keep moving. If your student is not ready to exit the vehicle, please proceed around the block again.
- Angled parking is staff parking. If you try to park, you may get stuck because of vehicles dropping off. This interferes with the flow of traffic. Please refrain from parking in the angled spots at the back of the school.
- There are many parking spots on Morton Ave. and a path for students/families to use to easily get to the school.
- Only students and staff may enter the fenced-in playground area between 8:10 and 4:00
