Please NOTE adjustments to Pick Up and Drop Off Procedures that are currently in place.

Posted September 1st, 2016

 

Drop Off:

Please adhere to your drop off time. Several times this week we noticed by 7:55 the front drop off was completely empty and we still had 15 minutes before the elementary students started.

Elementary parents, please come between 7:55 and 8:10 AM to drop off unless you have middle or high school siblings that must come earlier. This will give our middle school parents some room to drop off. Elementary students will go directly to their lines just inside the front gates and teachers will pick up their students there to take them to class.

Middle School parents, please come between 7:30 and 7:45 AM to drop off unless you have high school siblings that must come earlier. This will give our high school parents room to drop off.

High School parents, please come NO EARLIER THAN 7:10 AM. The school gates will open at 7:15 AM.

FAMILIES WITH SIBLINGS: You have the opportunity to bring all of your children to school at the drop off time of your oldest student and we will monitor your younger children in the Plaza until their start time.

Pick Up:

Elementary:  front of the school.

Teachers will have their students out by the curb by 2:10 pm. Parents, please pick up students by 2:30 pm.

Students who are not picked up by 2:30 will be escorted to the office until the parent arrives to sign them out .

Middle School pick-up remains at the back of the school.

All middle school students will walk to the back of the school for pick up. The drive gate off of Sherman Road is opened at 2:15 pm.

*Families that have both elementary and middle school students will need to pick their students up at the back of the school. Elementary students will wait in the plaza until their middle school sibling is out of school and picks them up to walk to middle school pick up at the back of the school.

High School pick up will remain at the front of the school. Students can pick up younger siblings from the plaza prior to exiting the front gate.

Please remember: the Plaza is for students who have older siblings in middle and/or high school. No other students are allowed as this is not a daycare service. We provide this option for free to families with multiple pick up times. Thank you for your cooperation.

SIBLING PICK UP: Please pick up your student at the pick up time of your oldest student. Have your oldest student come by the Plaza to pick up the siblings and then walk to their pick up area.

Lunch drop off eliminated as of October 1, 2016: For several reasons including safety, and security, we will no longer allow lunches to be dropped off at school. Besides the terrible problem with ants in the office due to the high volume of lunches being dropped off, we are tightening our security procedures. Please make sure that you take advantage of our newly built Ranger Station options and order lunch ahead of time. Lunch order forms can be found at: www.sra.mn/lunch-orders. Students that have forgotten their lunch will be provided with a nutritional bar during lunch.

If you do not wish to purchase lunch at school, please prepare a sack lunch for your child on a daily basis.

Closed Campus:
This is also a reminder that we are a closed campus. Students will not be allowed to leave campus to go to lunch, even with a parent or relative. If you are signing a student out for lunch, he/she will not be allowed to return to school for the remainder of the day. If he/she missed classes, it will be classified as an unexcused absence.

Safety and Security:
We are reducing the amount of traffic in the office, equipping security doors for your student’s safety and monitoring Lobby Guard closely. No person may enter the school from the front office without checking ID and verifying appointments, meetings or class offerings. A security door will be locked at all times. While we recognize that our smaller school, family environment is important, we must keep student safety at the forefront.
