Arrival
-
School Times will remain the same 7:40-3:10.
-
Drop off begins at 7:15 for the cafeteria and students are released to class at 7:30.
-
Class starts precisely at 7:40 with a community building morning meeting, so it is important for all students to be on time. See new tardy rules above.
-
7:30 is the BEST DROP OFF TIME!!!!
Students will need to be dropped off as walkers in the front of the school or as car riders in the drive off of Rundell. Please do not park on the side of Rundell and drop-off/walk your children to the door. If you want to walk your children to the door, please park on a different street to ensure safety of all our students.
In order to ensure the highest level of safety and knowing who is in our building at all times, we are not allowing visitors in the school to drop off students, even on the first days of school.
On the first day of school and all days, students will be dropped off at one of two locations: the front of the school or the side of the school by the cafeteria. The front is for walkers only, while the side can also accommodate car drop off. See map below for a visual.
Have a nervous kiddo? No worries - we will have plenty of staff ready with smiles to help walk them to class. If you are confident about it, they will be more confident.
Dismissal
Students have a variety of ways to get home: bus, after school care, independent walker or pick up. Please note, we do not have a car line.
After school care (YMCA, iKids) will be transported to appropriate locations by school personnel. At 3:10 we will unlock three gates: back off of Ann Arbor, side by cafeteria, and side by library - parents may then go to pick up their child from their teacher's exterior door.
All adult pick ups must show the Panther Pick Up pass you received at Meet the Teacher or an ID and then receive the pick up pass for future times.
Independent Walkers - These students need a signed form or email turned into the teacher and are released at 3:10 to walk to the designated location that your family has agreed upon. Please know they will be leaving class alone while families/adults are entering campus to pick up their students.
