Pre-Kindergarten: PreK students may be dropped off at the PreK entrance between 8:00 and 8:30am. Parents/guardians should unbuckle students, and then Pre-K faculty will assist students out of cars and guide them inside to their classrooms 

Kindergarten – 5th Grades: Morning drop-off occurs from 8:00am - 8:15am in the Lower School drop-off line

• Students arriving between 7:45am and 8:00am should be dropped off in front of the Dining Hall where they will remain with other members of their class until being walked to their classroom at 8:00am. 
• Students arriving between 8:00am and 8:15am should be dropped off in front of Lower School. They will report directly to their classroom. 
• Students arriving after 8:15am must be signed in at the front office by a parent/guardian. It is important that students arrive in a timely manner. Please allow time for students to put their things away and be in their classrooms ready for instruction to begin at 8:15am. 
• Parents may walk their child into the building between 8:00 and 8:15 am each morning. In order to give teachers time to prepare their classrooms, please do not enter the building prior to 8:00am. Our school day begins promptly at 8:15am. 

Dismissal 

We have staggered dismissal times to reduce traffic density and facilitate efficiency and safety.  Extended care options such as Stay and Play (for Pre-K) and Kids Club are also available until 6pm.

Pre-Kindergarten students should be picked up in front of the PreK building 12:30-12:45pm.  PreK students participating in Stay and Play should be picked up in front of the PreK building from 3:10-3:30pm (2:10-2:30pm on Wednesday)

Kindergarten – 5th Grades students must be picked up in front of the Lower School between 3:10-3:30pm, Wednesday 2:10-2:30pm.

To ensure an efficient and timely dismissal, your pick-up number must be CLEARLY DISPLAYED while in the dismissal line (it is easiest for us to see numbers that are hung from the rear-view mirror). Students not picked up by the end of dismissal will automatically be sent to the Kids Club program, located in the Dining Hall, and a fee will be charged.
