Arrival/Dismissal Procedures

Arrival      Procedures

CAR RIDERS:
 Cars will enter the drive by the brick sign in front of the school. Once your car reaches the sidewalk in front of the school, you may allow your child to exit the vehicle. Please do not wait until your car is the spot directly in front of the doors.

Staff will be stationed along the length of the sidewalk to supervise students as they walk to the front doors and enter the building - additional teachers will be present inside the building to assist students to their classroom. We ask that students are ready to exit your vehicle quickly and that drivers remain in the car to keep traffic flowing smoothly.

WALKERS:

 Students who walk to school will enter through the front doors under the front portico. Once students enter the building teachers will be ready to assist them to their classrooms.

BUS RIDERS:

Bus riders will be dropped off in the bus lane, located on the side of Dan Mills, and walk into school through the front doors. Teachers will be outside to make sure students get from the bus to the front door of the school safely. Once students enter the building teachers will be ready to assist them to their classrooms.

Dismissal Procedures

CAR RIDERS:

Families will be given a tag to display on their rear view mirror. These tags will have your student's name on them and help teachers call students for dismissal. Teachers will be located at multiple points throughout the driveway to supervise students and ensure that they safely make it to their vehicle.

 

We need all drivers to stay in their car to keep the line moving smoothly and expeditiously.


Please do not exit your car and walk to the entrance of the building to retrieve your child. This interruption will stop the process that we have developed to ensure that we are getting each child to their car safely.

 

WALKERS:

Families will receive a tag to hold during pickup. These tags will have your student's name on them and help teachers call students for dismissal. Walkers are dismissed at the side of the building closest to Greenland Avenue, by the loading dock. For safety reasons, we ask only WALKERS to exit from this location.


BUS RIDERS:

Bus riders will be escorted to the bus by teachers and staff at the end of the day to board the bus home. We hope to have more information before next week in regards to the specific routes and buses that will be assigned to Dan Mills this year.


At this time, it is unclear if we will have double routes on one or more of our buses.
