School hours Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays are 8:30am to 3:15pm.

Before school, students will enter from the drop-off line in the parking lot and go to their class lines. If dropped off in front of the school or walking or biking to school, students will be allowed to go through the front door and breezeway to join their class lines on the playground. The front door is not accessible to students before 8:00am. In general, students should not arrive prior to 8:15am unless they have a pre-arranged meeting with the a teacher or the school counselor. Students may not drop off their backpacks in a classroom or locker, and there is no loitering in the hallways before or after school. No big toy, basketball, games, etc., are to be played as students are waiting as there is no playground supervision provided by the school before 8:15am. Students are to remain outside on the playground until teachers come out to collect them at 8:25am except on rainy days when students assemble in the breezeway.

Prompt arrival at school is expected of all students. Late arrival disrupts class and causes loss of instruction time. A child who arrives at school after 8:30am is considered tardy. Any student who arrives after the class lines have gone in must report to the front office for a tardy slip before going to the classroom. In this circumstance, parents/guardians are advised to park on Dravus St as the student must enter through the front door of the school since all entries to the school are secured. Similarly, any time parents/guardians come to the school during the day, they must enter through the front door, sign in at the office, and receive a visitor badge. Parents/Guardians and visitors are to sign out upon leaving the school.

After school, students being picked up in the car line will all go to the parking lot and wait in their class lines. Walkers will exit the front of the school. Siblings may arrange a meeting place in front of the school so that they may walk together. Students crossing Dravus St at any time must cross at either 32nd or 34th in the crosswalks. If parents/guardians/caregivers are late picking up their children from school, teachers will escort these students to the school office and parents/guardians are contacted. Students must remain in the office until picked up. Students are expected to leave the school grounds after school unless part of a school activity. For safety reasons, students waiting for after-school pick up are not allowed on the play structure as there is no playground supervision provided by the school after 3:15pm (2:15pm on Wednesdays).

For cars, there is no double parking on Dravus, nor should drivers enter or exit via the east alley on Dravus St either during drop-off or pick-up. The only exception for entering the alley on Dravus St is if the driver has a school-designated parking space on the east side of the building.

Bikers will park their bikes in the bike rack in the east alley and walk to the front of the school to enter at the front door. For safety, the alley otherwise must be off-limits for students during drop-off and pick-up times.

It is the responsibility of parents/guardians to notify teachers and the school office in advance via email about pick up and drop off arrangements that differ from the typical procedure of parents/guardians picking up their children in car line i.e., students leaving with other students, nannies or au pairs picking up children, etc.
