The new pick-up procedures at dismissal will make it safer for kids, avoid congestion in the parking lot, accommodate a 3rd large bus, while recognizing it is different from previous years.
- In the main parking lot ... pick-up and drop-off on the right side as you enter the parking lot. (We are asking parents to NOT use the left side as you enter the parking lot to drop off/pick-up your kids.)
- The green "Type III Pick Up" is only for vans/vehicles contracted by the school district to drop-off and pick-up students.
- Along Hampshire Ave. N., on the east side of the building (3rd, 4th, 5th playground side), the entire length can be used to pick-up students at the end of the day.
- Please do not pick-up your children across from Hartkopf Park Parking Lot. If the space is open, it is much easier for the patrols and for kids to cross to Hartkopf Park.
Where Can I Pick-Up my Child After School?
- Along Hampshire Ave. N. on the East Side of the building. (Next to the 3rd/4th/5th Playground).
- In the Hartkopf Park Parking Lot.
- In the main parking lot, on the right side as you enter, or in one of the parking spaces.
- 74th 1/2 Ave. N., Janell Ave. N., 74th Ave. N. Circle (See Picture)
- Use the new sidewalks and walk to pick-up your child. Good exercise for all, and a great way to have wonderful conversations with your child to/from school!
At 3:20 pm, the parking lot is packed full of cars and there is no space. Students walk out of their classrooms at 3:20 pm; if you wait to arrive until 3:25 pm, it is much easier for you as a driver AND the students are only waiting a couple of minutes.
