Arrival

Car Line

The car line will be routed along the front of the school, and students will enter through the doors at the main entrance of the school. Students are expected to exit the vehicle unassisted and efficiently; please make sure they have their backpacks on and any items ready to exit. Students will proceed to their classrooms once they enter the campus. Students needing to eat breakfast will go immediately to the cafeteria.
Parents may choose to park in our visiting park lot and walk their child to the building. However, parents will not be allowed to enter the building with this option. Students that walk up will enter through the gym doors. We will not be using the crosswalks to enter through the main entrance. REMINDER: if you park and walk your child up to the door, wait till the buses have departed and then walk across to the gym door. Doors open for walkers/walk-ups at 7:00am.

Car Line Regulations

1.) Staff is allowed to only open the car door closest to the sidewalk.

To ensure the safety of our staff and students, parents must follow the procedures below when picking up your child.

Do not walk up to the gym until all the yellow school buses have cleared the bus lane. (This will be at approximately 2:50 each day. However, this is only an approximate time so please know that your flexibility is needed and appreciated.)
You must cross the bus lane, using the crosswalk, walking to and from the gym.
You will not enter the gym. You will wait outside underneath the gym awning in a line.

Information for Shady Brook and Misty Hill Walkers

Parents MUST adhere to the expectations established for designated walkers below so that our crossing guard and staff members can provide a safe environment for all of our walkers.
If you are meeting your child, you need to wait and remain in the following areas:

In the designated area after crossing the crosswalk Or
In the designated area approaching our crosswalk along our school’s fenceline

Your child will come to you.

Avoid parking within 15 feet of the crosswalk as this impedes our crossing guard, staff members, and students’ line of vision.
The parking lot adjacent to our gym is needed for our PreK parents. Please avoid parking in the parking lot adjacent to the gym.

K-4 Car Riders

Car riders will exit through the cafeteria. Students will be escorted from the classroom and proceed to the cafeteria. Grade K-4 will be seated in the cafeteria. Students will sit with the grade level and wait for their name to be called. When called, students will exit through the cafeteria doors, and proceed towards the designated cone.

YMCA

YMCA students will sit in the hallway until the YMCA staff members come to pick them up.

They cannot be called from the office for dismissal as the YMCA staff has to sign them out.
