Arrival & Dismissal
Arrival & Dismissal Procedures 2022-2023
Arrival
- On good weather days, students may arrive at 8:15, and doors open at 8:25.
- On bad weather days, the doors open at 8:15, instead of 8:25. The earlier entrance time is meant to support the flow of traffic and not cause traffic congestion.
- Kindergarten & 2nd grade students will line up in front of the school at Door 1.
- Grades 1, 3, 4, & 5 will line up on the black top by Door 4.
Dismissal
- At dismissal, grade level teachers are dividing students up by car riders, bussers, & walkers. This is done for supervision purposes.
- All bussers will exit Door 1
- All car riders and walkers will exit Door 4
- Families with siblings should arrange any meeting points outside of Door 4.
-
Families should the car pick up lane closest to the buildings (next to the basketball court) to pick up their students. Starting 1/5/2023, the island pick up zone will no longer be used.
Updated Parking & Traffic Patterns
These are slight changes from the last two school years. The changes are reverting to pre-Covid times. To handle an expected influx of traffic on our grounds, we have updated the parking and traffic patterns at Waterbury.
- Please use the zipper method to turn into the school drop off/pick up zones.
- Starting 1/5/2023: All students should be dropped off and picked up at the drive through pick up zone nearest the building (next to the basketball court). The island pick-up lanes will no longer be used.
- During arrival and dismissal, you may only turn right to exit the school grounds.
- To cross Rodenburg Road, Dover Drive, or any other street when coming to or leaving, please use one of the crosswalk zones.
- Students should always enter or exit a vehicle on the side of the side walk. Please do not have a child open a door on the side of on coming traffic.
- Please remain patient. We average over 100 cars in our lot, and average 10 minutes before every child is picked up.
- Please stay off electronic devices. This is for your safety as well as others.
- The circle drive in front of the school is for busses only during arrival and dismissal.
