First Week Morning Drop-off Procedures for Kindergarten Students

We are excited to welcome Track 4 Kindergarteners to school! Please be sure to have your student attend school on their assigned staggered entry day. If you plan to bring your child to school via carpool, you may park and walk them into the building during staggered entry.  

All families must check-in at the front prior to walking their student to class. Please bring your photo ID with you in order to help make the visitor check-in process easier before you walk your child to their Kindergarten classroom.

Tea and Tissues is scheduled for Track 4 Kindergarten parents in the Media Center at 8:25am on Monday, August 5th. You may also walk your student into the building this day, but must first check-in at the main office.

Carpool Reminders

• While in the carpool line, move forward until the car ahead of you stops. Students should exit the car from the driver’s side in order to avoid crossing traffic in the morning. In the afternoon, students will enter on the passenger side.

• Please be sure to pull all the way up as far as you can in the carpool lane and do not pass other cars in the outside lane. You should be pulling up to the next available marker. Please do not stop at preferred doorways/entrances in the morning.

• If you need to help a child buckle their seatbelt in the afternoon, please pull up to the grassy area around the side of the building.

• Parents should not get out of their cars during carpool! We will help your child exit/enter cars safely.
