Arrival & Dismissal
Drop-off, Pick-up, & Dismissal Procedures
There is no parking from 7:00am - 7:40am and from 2:14pm - 3:00pm on the Washington Avenue side of the school to the corner of West Atlantic Ave.
***Students need to use the cross-walk at all times***
Drop-off:
Students will be dropped off in front of the school on Washington Avenue, and parents are expected to pull in the reserved parent drop-off line to let students out.
- When dropping off, please ensure students have everything they need ready to go upon arrival. If students are not ready, it causes a delay in movement that creates a backup with traffic.
- Please do not drop students off in the middle of traffic. This interrupts the flow of traffic and causes safety concerns.
- If a parent needs to enter the building, please do not park in the drop-off line. When this happens, it creates a major traffic backup.
- Drop-off and pick-up in the student parking lot is not permitted
Dismissal:
- During dismissal, students may exit through the side and back doors, and can be picked up from the bus ramp on 49th Street for afternoon pickup.
- During dismissal, it is expected that students are picked up by 2:40 pm. However, if a parent/guardian is running late, the student must wait in the front. By 3:15 pm, any remaining students who have not been picked up should be in the front of the building on Washington Avenue, and parents must pick up students from Washington Avenue.
- If a student leaves school early, he/she must sign out in the front office and exit through the front doors
Early Dismissal:
Early Dismissals must be completed by 2:00 pm. Students who are not checked out by 2:00 will be released during regular dismissal at 2:40.
Parents: Please have a photo I.D. ready when picking up student(s). If a student is self-checking out, the front office must receive a phone call from the parent/guardian for confirmation as well as filling out the "Contact Us" form linked below. Any individual who is not listed in PowerSchool and is picking up a student must have both written consent (via email) and verbal consent (via phone call) from the parent or guardian, and must present a valid photo ID at the time of pickup.
Please fill out the Contact Us form on the website, selecting "Early Dismissal" from the 'Reason' drop-down menu:
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact
Dual-enrollment:
Dual-enrollment students who come and go throughout the day to attend their college courses must enter and leave through the front, and sign in and out in the front office.
