ARRIVAL AND DISMISSAL PROCEDURES FOR THE NEW PEEBLES ELEMENTARY SCHOOL 

2011-2012

·         You MAY use the circle drive in front of the school to park. That area will be used exclusively for Parents who are dropping off their child or picking them up in the evening between the hours of 7:30AM to 8:10AM and from approximately 2:15PM on.

·         Visitor parking is very limited and is located in the front of the school. Parking by the basketball courts is for BUSES ONLY during school hours and parking on the left side of the building is for staff and delivery trucks ONLY. We strongly suggest that parents who wish to pick up their child use one of the many bus stops in town to do so. They are located at the old school (Simmons Ave.); Old Gordley Gas Station (SR 41); The Bus Garage;  the old Malcolm car dealership (Rarden Rd and Castle Ave.); In front of the Old IGA (now the Grandview Outlet); and in front of the old park/ swimming pool on Nixon Ave.

·         NEW: Due to the lack of sidewalks to the high school and parking spaces at dismissal, we will be holding pick-ups until the buses leave from the elementary. This will be approximately 2:45. We do not want our elementary students walking in this traffic. Our SRO will be holding traffic up at SR 41 at this time for buses to get out…so as a parent your best option is to have your child ride the bus to the designated spots. If you come in and sign your child out early, be aware that they will be counted as tardy if signed out before dismissal. Three tardies count as ½ day absent according to state guidelines and early sign outs to beat traffic will be unexcused.

MORNING ARRIVAL
 

• Bus students arrive between 7:25-7:50AM each day. Bus students that arrive prior to 7:45AM should go to the cafetorium/ multi purpose gym (connected to the cafetorium) for breakfast. Bus students need to enter through the door in front of the cafetorium and walk immediately to the cafetorium if they arrive before 7:45AM. Students arriving after 7:45 should go to breakfast or their room, and not be lingering in the hallways.
• Walkers or Parent drop-offs are not to arrive before 7:45 AM as there is not adequate adult supervision. Students who arrive before 7:45 AM will need to go the cafetorium and wait there.
• On-site supervision is NOT available until 7:30 AM each day. The new doors will be set on a lock system so there will be no way for your child to enter the building. This will not be safe, especially on cold days. For safety reasons we recommend that students not walk to school until the sidewalks are built (hopefully by next spring).

SIGN OUT PROCEDURES / EVENING DISMISSAL

• Parent pick-ups and walkers will now be dismissed at approximately 2:45 PM each day. These students are to exit through the main front doors of the building and go immediately to the parent's car. Cars need to be in the curb lane in order to safely load students. Students are not to loiter, play on the playground, wait for friends, etc.
• Bus students will be dismissed as soon as the buses arrive (approximately 2:35PM.)
• Bus students will exit through the door of the main building (where the cafetorium is) or the front sidewalk, and go immediately to their bus. 
• Parents of grades K-6 children may no longer wait inside the building for their child. Sadly, it is no longer considered a safe practice for your child to have outside adults present at dismissal time. If you need to sign out your child you will need TO ENTER THE SIDE DOORS BY THE OFFICE AND HAVE YOUR CHILD CALLED DOWN. The office has a small waiting room with a few chairs. You may not wait by your child’s classroom or in the foyer.  
• At the end of the school day, students are expected to go home IMMEDIATELY. Supervision is NOT provided on the school playgrounds after school.

Our goal is to keep your child safe, and still make it as convenient as possible for you to pick-up or drop-off your child.  If you have any questions, please be sure to call us at 587-2611.  Thanks again for your help and support in keeping our children safe.

 Sincerely,
