Arrivals and Departures

Parents and students are reminded that classes start promptly at 8:10 a.m. and end at 2:50 p.m.  In order to arrive in class, on time, parents and student must allow for extra time for traffic and weather conditions, as well as traffic congestion on Church Street.  All drivers are expected to drive slowly, carefully, and courteously - respecting the posted signs and directional arrows on our driveway and parking lot and refraining from cutting into the line of vehicles waiting to exit the lot. Stopping on Church Street to drop off/pick up your child impedes traffic and is unsafe.  The bus loop is solely designated for busses and for the safe loading and unloading of students who take the bus to school.  The bus loop is not to be used for drop off/pick up or u-turns as per the posted signage.  Students may park on school property in the west parking lot. Students who use bicycles, rollerblades, skateboards or scooters to travel to and from school must wear a helmet and must walk while on school property.  Rollerblades, skateboards, and scooters must be stored in lockers or backpacks and bicycles locked to a bike rack.

·         Be at the bus stop five minutes early.
