🏫 Elementary School Drop-Off & Pick-Up Reminders
As we get ready for the first day of school, we wanted to share a few important reminders about morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up. Thank you for helping us keep arrival and dismissal safe, organized, and efficient for everyone! ❤️🖤
🌅 MORNING DROP-OFF
• Please remain in your vehicle. Parents should not exit their vehicles during morning drop-off.
• Teachers will be outside beginning at 7:50 AM to open car doors and greet students.
• Please have your child ready to exit the vehicle when the door is opened.
• Parents are asked not to walk their children into the school. We have teachers stationed throughout the building to help guide students to the correct location.
🚗 AFTER-SCHOOL PICK-UP
Teachers will be stationed outside to help students safely get into their vehicles.
PK & Kindergarten:
📍 Pick-up will be on the north side of the building.
➡️ Older siblings will be sent with the younger student so families can pick up siblings together.
1st–5th Grade:
📍 Pick-up will be on the west side of the building in the circle.
Need help buckling your child?
Please pull into the football field parking lot so you can safely assist your child without holding up the pick-up line.
🚨 TRAFFIC REMINDER
Please be aware that 7th Street is a one-way street during drop-off and pick-up times. Traffic should flow west only on 7th Street during these times. Please follow the one-way traffic pattern and watch for students, staff, and other vehicles.
📞 CHANGES TO PICK-UP PLANS
If you need to make a change to how your child will be released at the end of the day, please call the Elementary School at 580-596-3277 by 2:45 PM.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we start the new year! Working together will help make drop-off and pick-up quick, safe, and smooth for everyone.
We are so excited to welcome our students back! ❤️🖤📚
