Arrival/Dismissal Directions

When dropping your students off in the morning between 8:00 AM and 8:30 AM, you may either:

1. Enter the parking lot from Olympic from whichever direction you choose.  Drive down the lane to the whitetop, where teachers will assist students in exiting vehicles.  Students will walk through the whitetop directly to their classrooms.

---OR---

2.  Enter the parking lot between Church and school from Kawanee.  Park anywhere in this lot you would like.  Walk your students to Gate 3, which will open at 8:00 AM.  If your child is in PK3 or PK4, you may walk through the gate with your child and escort your child to the door of the building where your child's classroom is located.  If your child is in PK4B or PK4C, you may escort your child to the door of the classroom.

Students in K-7 ARE ALLOWED TO ENTER CAMPUS THROUGH GATE 3.  When students in grades K-7 enter through Gate 3, they will walk directly to their classrooms.  To clarify, if you have students in grades K-7, you are welcome to park in the lot between the Church and school and walk your children to this gate to have them enter campus.

Masks are required during arrival for all students in Grades 1-7 and all parents/guardians who are coming onto campus to walk with students.

All students who arrive to school at 8:30 AM and after are tardy. 

 

1. PK3 and PK4 dismissal will remain unchanged.  Dismissal for these students will take place from 3:20 to 3:30.  PK3 dismisses at Gate 3.  PK4 dismisses at Gate 2.  Parents/guardians will park in the lot between Church and school and walk up to the appropriate gate to pick up. Those picking up must wear masks and maintain social distance from each other. All students remaining at 3:30 will be sent to aftercare. 

2. Dismissal for students in K-7 will take place at 3:30.  Parents/guardians will park either in the parking lot between the Church and school or the in the parking lot closer to the Parishioners' Center.  All gates will be propped open.  Parents/guardians will exit their vehicles and walk onto campus.  PLEASE DO NOT LINE UP AT THE GATES BEFORE THEY OPEN.  PLEASE WAIT IN YOUR VEHICLE UNTIL 3:30.  ANYONE ARRIVING AT ENTRANCE GATES PRIOR TO 3:30 WILL BE ASKED TO GO BACK TO THEIR VEHICLES.

2a. Each gate is designated as either an entrance or an exit.  Gates 1 and 4 are entrances for dismissal.  Gates 2 and 3 are exits.

2b. Parents/guardians are required to wear a mask to enter campus.  Only one member of each family will be permitted on campus to pick up students.  Faculty members will be positioned at all gates to enforce these policies.

2c. Parents/guardians will walk to their child's class for pickup.  All building doors will be propped open and all classroom doors will be propped open.  There will be no need for anyone coming on campus to pick up students to touch any door, doorknob, or door handle.  Maintain proper social distance between yourself and others.  Use stairwells as they are marked: Building 1 near office is UP, Building 1 near bridge is DOWN, Building 2 is UP, Building 3 is DOWN.

2d. If you need to pick up multiple students, go to the class of each student in the order that best suits you.

2e. No one picking up will be allowed inside any classroom.

2f. Dismissal will not be a time for conferences and conversations.  Please pick up your student and depart from campus immediately.

3. Students in grades 1-7 must wear masks when leaving campus.

4. All students not picked up at 3:45 will be brought to aftercare.

Our dismissal plan allows us to keep the students in their homeroom static groups, around the students they are in class with all day, without mixing students with those in other classes or grade levels.  Propping of gates and doors takes away the need for anyone to touch any surfaces on campus.  Wearing of masks helps mitigate any airborne exposure or contamination.  The cleaning, disinfecting, and sanitizing of classrooms to prepare for the next school day begins at 4:00; the school maintenance staff cleans Building 1 while an outside cleaning company cleans Buildings 2 and 3.  This dismissal plan does not interfere with the cleaning schedule and allows for cleaning to take place relatively soon after parents/guardians have been on campus.  With this dismissal plan, students are kept out of any bad weather and not exposed to extreme temperatures.
